Visbeker Bräutigam, Prehistoric burial dolmen in Großenkneten, Germany.

The megalithic tomb stretches 104 meters in length and 9 meters in width, featuring 130 remaining stones arranged in systematic rows.

This Neolithic structure, built between 3500 and 2800 BC, served as a burial chamber for communities of the Funnel Beaker culture.

The name translates to 'Visbek Groom' and connects to a local tale about a bride who turned to stone rather than marry an unwanted suitor.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through a forest path that links multiple prehistoric monuments, including the nearby Visbek Bride structure.

The monument stands as the longest rectangular burial mound in Lower Saxony, with an estimated original construction of 170 stones.
