Mountain biking

One of the many large stone graves still preserved in Dithmarschen is the "bowl stone". It got its name because of the many, bowl-like depressions in one of the cap stones. In addition, “handprints” and a cross in the Krris can be clearly seen.

The shell stone is a passage grave that was laid out around 3500 BC. The stones were covered with a mound of earth. Later there was another burial here around 1700 BC with elevation of the mound. The name of the tomb refers to the bowl stone, which has numerous artificial depressions that probably served ritual purposes. Such stones are often found on graves and places of worship. What is unique about this grave, however, is that the bowl stone also acts as a capstone.

For some time there has been a debate as to whether the unfortunately weathered bowl stone would not be better kept in the new museum of the Stone Age village in order to save its special motifs, which unfortunately have suffered significantly in recent decades. The Bunsoher are probably against it. Let's see how this develops further.
