The megalithic graves near Binz were two megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Binz on the island of Rügen in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . They were probably destroyed in the 19th or early 20th century.
location
Friedrich von Hagenow noted the location of the graves together with two poorly preserved burial mounds on his special chart of the island of Rügen. At that time they were in the field east of Binz, on the east side of a street. Today the area is built over; the original locations of the graves are roughly in the area between Bahnhofstraße and Am Kleinbahnhof.
Ewald Schuldt considered the graves to be identical to two of the facilities described by Alfred Haas in 1917. For this, however, Haas indicated a different location (in the forest); the description also differs from that of Hagenows. The systems described by Haas are likely to have been two (meanwhile destroyed) smaller stone boxes.
description
The graves were not described in detail by von Hagenow, but only recorded in a list. Since von Hagenow divided the large stone graves of Rügen into three types, at least an approximate reconstruction of their original appearance is possible. The graves near Binz belonged to von Hagenow's third type and thus had a rectangular barren bed surrounded by stone. The burial chambers are likely to have been large dolmen , since almost all of the large stone graves in Rügen have such a burial chamber.
