Großsteingräber bei Wersen

The Großsteingräber consists of two remaining megalithic tombs, known as Kleine Sloopsteine and Große Sloopsteine, featuring large stone chambers and walls.

Built between 3250 and 2860 BCE, these burial structures belonged to the Funnel Beaker culture and contained ceramic fragments and flint artifacts.

The tombs served as communal burial grounds for regional populations, demonstrating the funeral practices and social organization of Neolithic communities.

Both graves remain accessible to visitors, with the first tomb measuring 7 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, while the second extends 18.5 meters with a width of 1.8 meters.

Archaeological excavations in 2015 revealed human bone remains that provided precise carbon dating, confirming the site's use between 3350 and 2850 BCE.
