from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic graves near Nahrstedt were 14 megalithic tombs from the Neolithic deep-engraving ceramic culture near Nahrstedt , a district of Stendal in the Stendal district , Saxony-Anhalt . All were destroyed in the 19th century. More precise location and building descriptions are not available. They were not mentioned by Johann Friedrich Danneil during his first systematic survey of the Altmark stone graves in the 1830s and 1840s and may have already been destroyed. Even Eduard Krause and Otto Schoetensack were at a record again in the 1890s find no remains more.
