The dolmen of Lottorf-Ost (also called Lottorf 1 ) is a dolmen (stone table) near Lottorf in Schleswig-Holstein . It cannot be addressed as either a rectangular pole or a polygonal pole . The north-south-oriented chamber is almost 2.0 m long and 1.8 m wide inside and consists of ten supporting stones. Cap stones are no longer available. The megalithic complex from the Neolithic was created by the funnel beaker culture (TBK) between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
The north side (narrow side) consists of three stones - which is very unusual for rectangular dolms - that form a straight row. The south side has two bearing stones between which the entrance is located. In front of the access gap there is a short corridor made of two supporting stones. The west side (long side) made of two elongated bearing stones was slightly bent outwards. The three bearing stones on the east side were set up in an arch, which would be typical for polygonal poles. The two northern girders on the east side have been split from one block. The upper edges of the bearing stones, which were wedged with small stones at the base, are at the same height.
The dolmen is sunk into the old surface, the grave floor is 1.05 m deep. The chamber stones are almost vertical, their smooth sides facing the interior. In the gaps there is intermediate masonry made of carefully layered quartzite plates . The pavement consists of stone slabs under a pile of burnt flint stone ; the bottom of the corridor was also covered with baked flint. The chamber was protected on the outside by a pack of smaller stones, clay and pieces of flint, which reached to the top of the bearing stones. It was originally bordered by a low hill, which was probably extended several times.

- ↑ Submerged systems largely bring with them those stabilizing elements that are preserved above-ground systems by stone packings and the like in a hill. You also do not need inward sloping bearing stones, but occasionally have them anyway for other reasons
