The Galgenberg (Gallows Hill), is believed to date from the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, and stands on a crossing point of ancient routes through the sandy Hondsrug region of Drenthe just over a kilometre to the west of the town of Annen. Although this burial mound is not particularly high, it was very much a landmark for traffic crossing this level terrain. The single large stone on its crest is one of the very few old mediaeval boundary markers that remains today. Until 1900, when the region was planted with trees, this was an area of open heathland.
During the Middle Ages, a gallows was set up on this burial mound (hence its name) and the bodies of those hanged were displayed as a warning to travellers.
