About four thousand years before our time, the first settled farmers in our area erected a monument to themselves. It has been preserved to this day: the giant stone grave Teufelsteine ("Düwelsteene").
3.5 kilometres east of Heiden's town centre, it lies in a dune landscape overgrown with pine trees. How these dunes came to Westphalia is a story of its own: These sand hills are of Ice Age origin. The wind blew it during the Vistula Ice Age (about fifty thousand years ago), when northern Germany was no longer covered by ice, but because of the still prevailing cold there was no vegetation cover that could have held the light sandy bottom.
