Großsteingrab Stöckheim

The burial chamber features a massive capstone measuring 4.5 meters in length and weighing 22 tons, supported by multiple stone blocks forming the walls.

Archaeological studies since 1843 have documented this megalithic tomb from the Funnel Beaker culture period, with regular examinations continuing through the 19th century.

The structure consists of 16 supporting stones and four capstones, representing advanced engineering knowledge of Neolithic communities in northern Germany.

The dolmen stands south of Stöckheim village near the road to Lüdelsen, accessible through a field path surrounded by trees.

The northern capstone remains the largest preserved covering stone among all megalithic tombs in the Altmark region of Saxony-Anhalt.
