Dolmen Steenodde

The dolmen lies about 500 m south-west of Steenodde, in a small wood beside a path named in the Öömrang dialect Ual Hööw (High German "Alter Gottesdienst", old divine service). The grave is set in a round mound 4 m high and 14 to 18 m in diameter. In Ernst Sprockhoff's atlas of the megalithic graves of Germany it is listed as Sprockhoff no. 12, or "Nebel (Amrum) Grab 2".

It is a rectangular dolmen with a passage, oriented north-east to south-west. All visible stones are in situ. Two supporting stones stand on each long side, and a third stands at the south-western narrow end. The chamber is closed by two capstones. At the other narrow end stands a half supporting stone, with a threshold stone in the gap. The interior of the chamber measures about 1.6 m × 0.9 m. The attached passage consists of two pairs of stones whose capstones are missing.

Nearby lies the Esenhugh, the largest burial mound on Amrum.

Across the plain from the Netherlands to Poland, the Funnel Beaker culture left thousands of megalithic tombs. Nordic megalith architecture emerged in northern Europe mainly between 3500 and 2800 BCE. Monuments are classed by type: simple dolmens, extended dolmens, passage graves, great dolmens, unchambered long barrows and stone cists.
