In a garden colonie north of the small village of Drosa, a monumental 5,000-year-old megalithic tomb - the so-called “Devil’s Cellar” – will amaze visitors. This remnant of Neolithic stone architecture belongs to the archaeological peculiarities of the region. Six supporting stones made of granite and a huge capstone are still in existence. The trapezoidal burial chamber is oriented west-northwest-east-southeast, the inside dimension is over nine meters, while the narrow sides are between 1.25 and 2.30 meters wide inside. A layer of clay up to 1 meter thick once surrounded the supporting stones, with small stones and earth closing the joints at that time. On the southern side, there was a wide passage to carry the dead to the grave for burial. Among the many grave goods found in the tomb were vessels, flint tools, animal teeth, a stone axe, a bone needle, and a copper cylinder.

The name “Devil’s Cellar” was probably thought up in the Christian era by the clergy to discourage residents from visiting the pagan site by naming the devil.

The village of Drosa is about 8.5 km northwest of Köthen (Anhalt). There are signposts starting in the center of Drosa, making the tomb easy to find. A small park with a rest area nearby invites visitors to linger.
