Großsteingrab Tannenhausen

The megalithic tomb consists of two burial chambers, with the western chamber measuring twelve meters and the eastern chamber reaching eleven meters in length.

Archaeological excavations in 1962 revealed artifacts from the Funnel Beaker culture, indicating the burial site dates back approximately 5000 years.

Three original boulders at the site are locally known as Butter, Bread, and Cheese, reflecting regional folklore connections to these ancient stones.

The archaeological site is accessible without entrance fees, featuring an information trail that explains the structure and significance of the megalithic tomb.

Unlike common stone entrance designs, this tomb utilized wooden posts for access to the burial chambers, similar to structures found in Drenthe province.
