Neolithic Stones Anchor a Timeline of Metal Steles

The Gretescher Steine rest where the Belmer Bach curves. This Neolithic burial chamber spans 10 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. Oriented southwest-northwest, it hovers roughly four meters above the river.

Crafted between 3500 and 2800 BC, the structure features a chamber plus a separate lateral passage. This design is primarily found in Denmark, Germany, and Scandinavia, and occasionally in France and the Netherlands. The origin and function of these monuments are considered characteristics of social development.

Part of the northeast end of the grave was likely undermined and collapsed by the river. Since late 2016, the chamber has served as the endpoint of a timeline. This artistic space installation is made of metal steles.
