Great stone graves near Gischow

The megalithic graves near Gischow were two megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Gischow in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). They were destroyed in the 19th century. Their exact location is not known. There is also no more detailed information about the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. Robert Beltz only mentions two stone chambers. It could therefore have been dolmens or passage graves . An excavation took place around 1805, but no findings were found.
