Great stone graves near Zölkow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The megalithic graves near Zölkow were at least three megalithic tombs from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near Zölkow in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). They were destroyed in the 19th century. In 1806 Friedrich Wilhelm Zinck carried out excavations on the three sites. Their exact location is not known. There is also no more detailed information about the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. Only a few ceramic shards were found during the excavation .
