Great stone graves near Stahnsdorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone graves near Stahnsdorf were several megalithic graves of unknown numbers from the Neolithic Age near Stahnsdorf in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district ( Brandenburg ). In the middle of the 19th century, Leopold von Ledebur mentions a large number of stones on the Windmühlenberg near Stahnsdorf. This was viewed by later authors as an indication of (already destroyed?) Megalithic graves.
