Great stone graves near Fürstenwerder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic graves near Fürstenwerder were several possible megalithic graves of unknown numbers from the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Fürstenwerder , a district of the municipality of Nordwestuckermark in the Uckermark district ( Brandenburg ). At the beginning of the 18th century, Johann Christoph Bekmann mentioned several stone settings at the "Wahrensee" ( Great Lake ? Dammsee ?) Near Fürstenwerder, which reminded him of grave or sacrificial sites. No more detailed information is available about the alignment, dimensions and exact appearance of the system. By the middle of the 19th century, they were no longer there.
