Hünenbett in the Klecker Forest
Highlight • Historical Site
The restored giant bed made of 76 partially supplemented curbs is 48 meters long and 6.5 meters wide; the long axis is oriented approximately north / south (i.e. about 17 ° east). Near the northern end, in the middle of the enclosure, is the chamber made of granite blocks. Its bearing stones have largely been preserved, while the cap stones (once five) are missing except for one. The guard stones placed at the corners are not original. The Freudenthalweg leads past the salon grave.
The access to the chamber is indicated in the east by a bearing stone and gaps in the border and between the chamber bearing stones.
As well preserved as the giant bed presents itself to the viewer, it has not stood the test of time. In 1892 it was restored by the master snowman. Seven surrounding stones were added. At the northeast and southeast corner of the bed he placed two so-called guardian stones. These were originally probably the capstones of the chamber. The only chamber capstone that exists today fell into the chamber and was put back in 1953.
The excavation by Ferdinand Frohböse at the end of the 19th century revealed a paving of the floor in the chamber. Some of the stones were split by fire. No finds were made. There were several stone graves in the area until the 19th century.
