Putlos dolmen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The eight Putlos dolmens are located in a restricted military area of ​​the Putlos military training area , which can only be entered with a special permit, in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein .

The megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) were built between 3500 and 2800 BC. And have the Sprockhoff no. 257 to 264. Seven systems are located close together on the high bank of the Baltic Sea with a view of the Hohwacht Bay . The eighth is south on the summit of the Wienberg.

All information according to E. Sprockhoff:

Size of the long beds in Schleswig-Holstein

Putlos 1, Sprockhoff No. 257

Putlos 1 is a roughly 33 m long and 6.0 m wide rectangular barren bed with curbs and three extended dolmens, oriented approximately southwest-northeast .

The north-eastern chamber measures around 2.5 × 0.8 m and is located at an angle in the bed of the mounds. It is up to the top of the bearing stones in the hill. Six bearing stones, the end stone and a cap stone have been preserved.

The middle chamber measures around 2.0 × 0.8 m, is transverse and has four bearing stones that lie in the hill and a capstone.

The south-western chamber is transverse and has six bearing stones and one end stone. The access on the southern narrow side has two bearing stones and a cap stone.

Location: 54.336692 ° N, 10.842614 ° E

Putlos 2, Sprockhoff No. 258

Putlos 2 is a roughly 21.5 m long and 4.0 m wide rectangular barren bed with a longitudinal chamber in the middle, oriented roughly north-south. The edging is very sketchy on three sides.

Location: 54.336586 ° N, 10.843256 ° E

Putlos 3, Sprockhoff No. 259

Putlos 3 is an approximately north-south oriented barren bed, which is about 115 m long and up to 5.5 m wide in the middle. The bed becomes narrower at the ends. The curb stones on the northern narrow side were missing, otherwise most of the border stones are present.

The 1.8 m long and 0.7 m wide chamber is an inclined ancient dolmen with four lateral supporting stones, two end stones and a cap stone. The chamber was robbed many years ago.

Location: north end 54.337983 ° N, 10.842972 ° E , south end 54.336928 ° N, 10.843286 ° E

Putlos 4, Sprockhoff No. 260

Parallel and transverse lying

Putlos 4 is a roughly 30 m long and 5.0 m wide megalithic bed with a north-west-south-east orientation with a transverse dolmen measuring 1.5 × 0.9 m in the south half. The chamber was blown up.

Location: 54.338239 ° N, 10.842836 ° E

Putlos 5, Sprockhoff No. 261

Putlos 5 is an approximately north-west-south-east oriented mound bed with a transverse, extended dolmen of 2 × 1 m. The capstones of the chamber have been relocated, one has elongated blast holes. The edging on the narrow sides is missing, but Sprockhoff assumed a length of 15 m and a width of 5.5 m.

Location: 54.338167 ° N, 10.842717 ° E

Putlos 6, Sprockhoff No. 262

Putlos 6 is a roughly north-south oriented barren bed that was inaccessible to Sprockhoff in 1933 because of the thorn bushes. He estimated the length to be around 25 m. Two capstones should be visible from the chamber.

Location: 54.336606 ° N, 10.843492 ° E

Putlos 7, Sprockhoff No. 263

Putlos 7 could not be examined by Sprockhoff because of the thorn bushes in 1933. It is not a barren bed, but probably a dolmen that lay in the round hill.

Location: 54.337869 ° N, 10.842794 ° E

Putlos 8, Sprockhoff No. 264

Putlos 8 is more south than Putlos 1 - 7. With a length of 130 m, it is one of the longest giant beds in Germany and 4.5 m wide. At the northern end there are no edging stones for a length of about 10 m, otherwise most of the curb stones are present. The only chamber is in the northern quarter.

When the shooting range was set up, the burial chamber was poured out with concrete and a balloon mast was erected. This mast no longer stands today.

To the north of the chamber there is a square stone setting with a side length of about five meters in the megalithic bed . Sprockhoff assumed that it was a Slavic grave built into the megalithic bed. The assumption is obvious, because on the Wienberge there was a sanctuary of the Slavic god Prove, destroyed in 1156 .
