In the Neolithic period about 5,600 years ago, the first farmers of the so-called funnel beaker culture (3,900 - 1,700 BC) erected these long-dumbbells as a community tomb. Originally the plant was completely covered by the hill. The 34 curbs that covered the burial mound and its three burial chambers are now visible around the grave foot. Most of the curbs are untapped or knocked off and some are quite twisted and used for other purposes. The now open rectangular burial chamber at the north-eastern end with the three Tragsteien and a large capstone are the best preserved stones. In the middle of the mound you can see two stones that may indicate a still untouched burial chamber.
