The megalithic graves near Quitzerow were nine megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Quitzerow , a district of Kletzin in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). They were probably destroyed in the late 19th or early 20th century. The existence of the graves was recorded by hand in the 1820s by Friedrich von Hagenow . His notes were published by Hansdieter Berlekamp in 1961 .
