The megalithic graves near Ruthenbeck were four megalithic tombs of the Neolithic funnel cup culture (TBK). Today only one system is left. It is also known locally as the devil's oven and is located on the edge of the field, northwest of Neu Ruthenbeck -Goldenbow, near Parchim in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It bears the Sprockhoff no. 405; Sprockhoff leads them under the location Goldenbow. It was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC.
It is a north-east-south-west oriented chamber, of which only the north-east end has been preserved. A huge capstone, roughly 4.0 × 2.8 meters and one meter thick, rests on two bearing stones and two end stones. Another bearing stone is tilted and dragged south of the preserved part. Ernst Sprockhoff assumed a chamber measuring around 5.0 × 2.0 meters with three cap stones, the access of which has not been preserved. Sprockhoff thought the complex was a large dolmen , while Ewald Schuldt was a passage grave .
In a report by Professor Schröter from 1804, three other graves are mentioned, but these were destroyed in the 19th century and about which no further details are available.
