The Seventeen Skulls of Liepen 7

Seventeen human skulls rest within the grave of the Funnelbeaker culture, a people who built megalithic structures between 3500 and 2800 BC.

Follow a forest path branching from a field road near the Recknitz river. The grave sits inside a small round hill, a gallery tomb oriented north to south. The perimeter consists of 16 preserved and 7 missing side stones.

The chamber spans six meters in length, holding two of the three original capstones. Archaeologists found thirty-one pottery shards plus a toolkit including fifteen blades, fourteen transverse cutters, three hammering stones, and three blade scrapers. The entrance hall is composed of rolling stones, red sandstone slabs, and fired flint.

Ewald Schuldt excavated and reconstructed the site in 1965. The passage is approximately three meters long and oriented toward the west, leading into a chamber that is 1.8 meters high and 2.5 meters wide.
