Großsteingrab Blankensee

The megalithic structure extends eight meters in length and three meters in width, featuring large erratic boulders arranged in a burial chamber formation.

Constructed between 3500 and 2800 BC by the Funnel Beaker Culture, this passage grave represents an early example of organized burial practices in northern Europe.

The chamber structure includes four supporting stones on the northern side and multiple stones on the southern side, topped by four substantial capstones.

Located near highways B 207 and A 20, the archaeological site sits in a wooded area surrounded by a protective fence for preservation purposes.

Archaeological excavations in 1857 revealed human bones, pottery fragments, a flint axe, and a bronze knife within and around the burial chamber.
