Siegfried-Grab, Archaeological monument at Torturmplatz in Worms, Germany.

Two sandstone monoliths, each four meters high, stand in a green space marking the location of a prehistoric burial mound.

Emperor Frederick III ordered an archaeological investigation of the burial site in 1488, leading to reports of discovered bones and a skull.

The site connects to German folklore as the presumed resting place of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer from the Nibelungen legends.

The monument sits near the old city walls of Worms, adjacent to the Nibelungen Museum, making it accessible for historical tours.

The current art installation, completed in 2003, references Neolithic menhirs through its design and placement in the urban landscape.
