Large stone graves at Herzsprung

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic graves at Herzsprung were several megalithic tombs of unknown numbers, probably from the Neolithic funnel cup culture at Herzsprung , a district of Angermünde in the Uckermark district ( Brandenburg ). They were destroyed during road construction in the 19th century. No information is available about the number, dimensions, orientation and type of graves. According to Leopold von Ledebur , “urns” were always found when they were destroyed.
