Lübbensteine, Neolithic dolmen in Helmstedt, Germany.
The Lübbensteine features large quartzite stones arranged in a specific pattern to form burial chambers on Saint Anne's Mountain in Helmstedt.
Between 3500 and 3000 BCE, agricultural settlers of the Funnel Beaker culture constructed these megalithic tombs as communal burial grounds.
The Lübbensteine represents the most ancient archaeological monuments in the Braunschweig region and marks the southernmost megalithic tombs in Northern Germany.
The archaeological site lacks wheelchair accessibility, requiring visitors to navigate the natural terrain of Saint Anne's Mountain to reach the stone structures.
Local folklore attributes the origin of these stones to a wandering giant who accidentally dropped them through a hole in his trouser pocket.
