The passage grave of Katelbogen is a north-east-south-west oriented, reconstructed and excavated trapezoidal passage grave in a rectangular barren bed in 1966 by Ewald Schuldt (1914–1987) , with the Sprockhoff no. 370. The complex was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK).
location
The system is located in Baumgarten-Katelbogen near Bützow in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on a field north of the field path (expansion) between the towns of Katelbogen and Qualitz in a conspicuous group of trees. About 130 m further on is the large stone grave of Qualitz under a tree.
description
Of the relatively short, rectangular edging, 22 of the original 36 curb stones have been preserved. Originally, the chamber was hidden up to the capstones within the enclosure in the heaped hill. The complex is one of the well-preserved megalithic stone graves in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Of the approximately 8.0 m long, 1.6 to 1.8 m high and 1.8 to 2.3 m wide chamber of the large stone grave, all 14 bearing stones, five of the six cap stones and the complete one, located in the southeast, are about three meter long corridor with two threshold stones, six bearing stones and two cap stones preserved. At the inner transition to the chamber there is a complete locking device with a link guide and a door panel that can be pushed in from above. The board consists of pebbles , annealed flint and clay screed . The archaeological investigation revealed that the facility had been re-used by those who carried out the spherical amphora culture .
In addition to charcoal, two human skulls and 127 shards , there were 22 cross cutters , twelve double-conical vessels, ten blades , six bowls, five tall pots, five amber beads (four double-ax-shaped ), four striking stones , three wide-mouthed vessels, two drills, a flat hatchet, and a thick- necked one Hatchet , a funnel bowl, a shoulder vessel and a spherical amphora.
