Megalithic grave of the Neolithic funnel beaker culture at Dellbrück, a district of Bargenstedt in Dithmarschen (Schleswig-Holstein).

- Origin 3500 to 2800 BC Chr.
- Sprockhoff number 152

The plant originally had a round hillside, which is no longer preserved today. A stone wreath attached to the grave is according to Ernst Sprockhoff modern. Of the original plant only the burial chamber is preserved, this is however in a very good state of preservation. It is a north-south oriented extended dolmen with a length of 2.5 m and a width of 1.7 m. The chamber consists of two brick pairs on the long sides, a closing stone on the southern narrow side, two stones on the northern narrow side and two capstones. Access to the chamber is on the north side. Originally there was a narrow stone in the eastern half, which reached to the capstone and in the western half a half-high, tapered stone. In this condition Sprockhoff found the chamber before his admission in 1934. Later, the eastern stone was removed and placed in front of the chamber and the western stone crazy, so that he now occupies the entire narrow side.
