Pöppendorfer Großsteingrab
Pöppendorfer Großsteingrab, Neolithic passage grave in Lübeck, Germany
The Pöppendorfer Großsteingrab consists of twelve supporting stones and four capstones, forming a burial chamber measuring 6 meters long and 3.7 meters wide.
Built between 3500 and 2800 BCE during the Funnelbeaker culture period, this dolmen later received additional burials from Bronze Age and Slavic communities.
The structure represents Nordic megalith architecture, with an entrance on the southern side following the Holstein chamber design common in Northern European megalithic constructions.
The passage grave stands within the Waldhusener Forest, accessible through marked paths from both Lübeck-Kücknitz and Lübeck-Travemünde districts.
A circle of 59 small glacial boulders surrounds the tomb at a distance of 3.5 meters, marking the original size of the earthen mound.
