The megalithic graves near Rade were three megalithic graves from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Rade , a district of Neu Wulmstorf in the Harburg district ( Lower Saxony ). They were destroyed in the middle of the 20th century. Their existence is only attested by card signatures that Willi Wegewitz affixed in a publication in 1955 on the cutout of a measuring table sheet based on the processing status of the late 1940s. Accordingly, there was a grave at the southern exit of the village just east of the old village road, a second east of Rade on the edge of the forest and the third northeast in the forest. Another signature southeast of Rade in the Tegebusch is the still preserved stone box in the Rade field mark, which Wegewitz had examined . The three large stone graves were not described in detail; Ernst Sprockhoff and Gerhard Körner could not find any more residues when they visited the sites again in 1967.
