Lehmsiek dolmen

The Lehmsiek Dolmen is an ancient megalithic structure located in the northwestern region of Germany, specifically in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. The dolmen dates back to the Neolithic era, around 3,500 BCE, making it one of the oldest and most significant historical sites in the area.

The dolmen consists of three large upright stones that support a massive capstone, creating a chambered tomb. The capstone alone weighs approximately 23 tons, making it an impressive feat of engineering for its time.

The site was first discovered in the late 19th century and has since been excavated and studied extensively by archaeologists. The excavations revealed that the dolmen was used as a burial site for several generations of people, with evidence of bones and grave goods such as pottery and stone tools found within the chamber.
