Gollenstein, Prehistoric menhir in Blieskastel, Germany
The Gollenstein menhir rises 6.58 meters from the ground, making it the tallest standing stone monument in Central Europe.
The sandstone monolith dates back to approximately 2000 BCE, marking the end of the Neolithic period in the Saarland region.
The stone features a carved niche containing a human figure relief, suggesting connections to ancient religious practices and ancestor worship.
Visitors can reach the menhir by following signs from Schlossbergstrasse through Ziegelhütter Weg and Kahlhecker Weg in Blieskastel.
In 1939, German military officers ordered the menhir dismantled to prevent its use as an artillery target, leading to its reconstruction with concrete in 1951.
