The original layout of the Großsteingrabes is still relatively well recognizable, although some boulders have not received in original position. The strange name 'Schmeersteine' is based on the popular belief that fat and butter (flat German: Schmeer) had been sacrificed there some time ago.

For me, the Schmeersteine are one of the most beautiful and magical stone tombs.
