In addition to the Visbeker Bridegroom's large stone grave, it is easy to miss the smaller graves. Both date back to the Neolithic period and are 5,000 to 5,500 years old.

The megalithic tomb 935 (according to Sprockhoff) lies a few meters northwest of the "Visbek Bridegroom." The burial mound has been largely preserved in its original form. Two capstones of the chamber protrude from the top. The supporting stones are probably still embedded deep in the ground. Whether the chamber originally had more than two capstones cannot currently be determined.
