The megalithic graves near Freetz were three megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Freetz , a district of Putbus in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen ( 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 Freetz were only included in a list. Their dimensions and orientation are unknown. It is only noted that all three graves were large dolmen without a stone enclosure. Von Hagenow noted their location on his special chart of the island of Rügen , published in 1829 .
