Großsteingrab im Ahlen-Falkenberger Moor, Neolithic burial site in Wanna, Germany
The megalithic tomb features five capstones within a stone chamber, positioned near the northern shore of Lake Dahlem in the Ahlenmoor wetlands.
Built around 3200 BCE by the Funnel Beaker culture, the tomb remained hidden beneath growing peat until iron age settlers arrived around 800 BCE.
Archaeological excavations in 2019 revealed amber beads and pottery fragments, indicating the burial practices of early farming communities in Northern Germany.
The tomb lies 450 meters from a second megalithic structure, with both sites accessible through the Moor Information Center in Wanna.
The peat bog preservation maintained the original structure intact for millennia, providing researchers with detailed information about Neolithic construction methods.
