Visbeker Bräutigam, Prehistoric burial dolmen in Großenkneten, Germany.

The Visbek Groom is a megalithic burial structure from the Stone Age with about 130 surviving stones arranged in regular rows. The monument forms a long rectangular shape that extends across approximately 104 meters and spans about 9 meters wide.

The main tomb, Sprockhoff no. 936, was built between 3400 and 2800 BC by the Funnel Beaker culture, making it one of Germany's largest megalithic monuments. Its 104-metre enclosure of about 130 surviving stones is aligned east-west toward the equinox sunrise and sunset. Four further tombs, nos. 934, 935, 937 and 938, lie within a few metres, and the Heidenopfertisch stands south of the Aue.

The name comes from a local legend about a groom who turned to stone rather than face an unwanted marriage. People in the area once used stories like this to explain the mysterious stone monuments scattered across their landscape.

The site can be reached via a forest trail that connects to other prehistoric monuments in the surrounding area. Wear sturdy shoes because the scattered stones create uneven walking surfaces throughout the site.

The main enclosure is 104 m long and 8–9 m wide, with 130 of the original 170 stones still standing. Its chamber is only about 10 m long, shorter than the 24 m chamber of tomb 934 a few metres away. The site is aligned east–west toward sunrise and sunset at the equinoxes.
