Large stone graves near Poppentin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic graves at Poppentin were several megalithic tombs of unknown numbers from the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Poppentin , a district of Göhren-Lebbin in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). They were destroyed in the 19th century. According to Friedrich Franz Elias von Kardorff and Johann Ritter , around 1847 there were several large stone graves on sandy soil near the Poppentin castle, which were already poorly preserved at that time. No investigation was proposed. Robert Beltz listed the systems in 1899 when they had run out. No details are available about the orientation, dimensions and type of the graves. About 500 m northwest of Poppentin lies the still preserved large stone grave Wendhof . A Bronze Age burial mound has also been preserved between Poppentin and Wendhof .
