Tannenhausen large stone grave
In 2014, with the support of archaeologists from the East Frisian landscape, the city of Aurich had a large stone grave reconstructed with seven head-high boulders, each weighing around five tons. In addition, a circular route was created and boards with information about the structure and significance of the large stone grave were set up.
It is assumed that the few Stone Age grave complexes in East Frisia were destroyed during that time. The complex in Tannenhausen (approx. 3,500 BC) is therefore a clear example of a large stone grave from the Funnel Beaker culture period, which is impressive for students due to its dimensions. The archaeological finds such as bowls, funnel beakers, shoulder vessels and collar bottles are exhibited in the Historical Museum in Aurich (museum-aurich.de/museum/grosssteingrab.html).
