Large stone graves near Bruchwedel
The megalithic graves at Bruchwedel were two megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Bruchwedel , a district of Oetzen in the Uelzen district ( Lower Saxony ). They were destroyed in the early 19th century. They were located to the southwest of the village and directly adjoined one of the large stone graves near Dörmte , which were documented in 1840 by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff . By this time the graves near Bruchwedel had already been destroyed. There is therefore no further information about the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. East of the megalithic graves were two burial mounds .
