The Großdolmen of Dwasieden, a district of Sassnitz, is located on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. It was excavated by Ewald Schuldt in 1970 and bears the Sprockhoff number. 472. The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture was created between 3500 and 2800 BCE.

The island of Rügen is home to many significant pagan sites. It appears to have served as something of a sacred centre for the people of the Funnel Beaker culture, Germanic tribes, and Slavic tribes.

The complex was painted in 1806 by the Greifswald-born painter Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). The drawings and sketches are in the Ashmolean Museum of Art & Archeology at Oxford.
