Large stone graves near Düvier

The megalithic graves at Düvier were six megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel cup culture at Düvier , a district of Loitz in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). They were probably destroyed in the 19th century. The existence of the graves was recorded by hand in the 1820s by Friedrich von Hagenow . His notes, which were intended to record the entire inventory of the megalithic graves on Rügen and in New Western Pomerania , were published by Rudolf Baier in 1904 . The plants at Düvier were only included in a list. Their exact location, dimensions and orientation are unknown. It is only noted that all six graves were large dolmen .

The Düvier complex was part of a larger group of megalithic tombs that stretched southwest of Greifswald between Dargelin in the east and Düvier in the west. The next remaining structures are the megalithic stone graves to the east near Nielitz .
