Megalithen in Deutschland

From Aurich to Rügen, from the Saar to Forchheim in Bavaria – the megalithic structures are the oldest witnesses of our past. The earliest burial mounds were created a millennium before the Egyptian pyramids. Little is known about their significance, although many were places of burial or worship. The book narrates when and how massive stones were first erected in Germany and Central Europe, and how antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times interpreted these monuments and utilized them for their own purposes. It also shows how the idea of piling up monuments made of rock has survived to this day.
