The large stone graves in the Haldensleber Forest (often incorrectly referred to as the large stone graves in the Haldensleben Forest ) are located on an area of 20 km² west and south-west of Haldensleben in Saxony-Anhalt . Of the 85 large stone graves that can still be recognized, there are 48 more, of which there are reliable documents, but which were primarily destroyed in the 19th century. This means that the forest has one of the densest occurrences of megalithic systems in Europe.

Research history

The facilities were described by Wilhelm Blasius (1845–1912), Karl Stuhlmann and Bruno Rahmlow. A modern documentation was created between 1970 and 1974 on behalf of the Museum Halle . Excavations were carried out by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . So far, 16 plants or their remains have been examined. The research showed that the Neolithic systems were built by the carriers of deep engraving ceramics , a group of the funnel cup culture (TBK). Their settlements were on the Probsthorn (discovered in 1977) and on the Rosmarienbreite, southwest and northeast of the city of Haldensleben.

description

The chambers in the Haldensleben forest have on average larger dimensions than the old ones . They are often made up of eight or nine, in individual cases up to twelve pairs of bearing stones and two end stones. The bearing stones have cap stones, the number of which is often less than that of the pairs of bearing stones, so they often do not form any yokes . Boulders made of northern granite were mainly used as building material .

The facilities are primarily passage graves . As a rule, a 2-3 m long, 0.6 m wide and 0.75 m high, attached corridor led slightly off-center into the chamber from the south side of the enclosure, so that in the west the chambers, on average, about 1.2 m high larger area than in the east. The floors of the chambers are covered with stone slabs, which are covered with a clay or loam screed and a layer of gravel on top. There is plate-like intermediate masonry between the wall stones .

The hill covering the chamber was delimited by a usually trapezoidal stone border, the so-called Hünenbett . The chambers are usually in the wider part of the enclosure.

The large stone graves in the Haldensleben forest are oriented west-east, with more or less strong deviations. They were used in the Neolithic period, but also later, for reburial or sacrificial acts.

Numerous systems are located on both sides of the signposted »Gräberweg«, which runs through the area from northeast to southwest. Not far from the "Gasthaus Ziegelei" is the so-called "Devil's Kitchen", one of the most famous large stone graves in the area. Compared to the “kitchen firs” and the “royal grave”, the burial chamber is short. Eight bearing stones and two cap stones have been preserved. Two bearing stones and a capstone are missing. The largest and at the same time one of the best preserved facilities is the royal grave, south of the forester's house oak.

Grave ALV 21

This grave lies on a spur and is oriented north-south. The mound has a height of 0.2 m. An enclosure could not be determined. The burial chamber is an enlarged dolmen. Its length is 3.5 m inside, its width inside 2 m. There are four wall stones on the western long side, three on the eastern long side, the two end stones on the narrow sides and the two cap stones.

This very well-preserved complex was reconstructed after the excavation in 1968/69. It lies on a natural hill and has an east-west oriented trapezoidal barn bed with a length of 19 m and a width between 6 m and 8 m. Of the original 40 surrounding stones, 30 are still preserved. The burial chamber is an east-west oriented passage grave with a rectangular floor plan. It has nine wall stones on the northern and seven on the southern long side as well as one end stone on each of the narrow sides. Four of the original five cap stones are still preserved. The access to the chamber is located between the third and fourth wall stones on the southern long side, seen from the east. In front of this is a corridor made up of three pairs of wall stones.

Grave ALV 34

This poorly preserved complex is located on a slight slope and has an east-north-east-west-south-west oriented mound bed with a length of 16 m and a width of 6 m. The mound still has a height of 0.5 m. A total of 17 stones have been preserved, including several surrounding stones. The burial chamber is largely destroyed.

Grave ALV 39

This poorly preserved grave is oriented east-west. A stone enclosure could not be found. Five stones from the burial chamber are still preserved, but they do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the exact dimensions and type of the grave. The facility seems to have been severely disrupted or never completed.

Grave ALV 40

This complex has an approximately east-west oriented megalithic bed, the exact dimensions of which cannot be determined. At least three stones have been preserved from the enclosure. The burial chamber is an east-southeast-west-northwest oriented passage grave. The inside length is 5 m, the inside width 1.1 m. The two end stones and two wall stones each on the long sides have been preserved. During the excavation in 1967, the standing pit of another wall stone was discovered on the southern long side. In addition, remnants of the ventricular plaster were found. Since no grave goods were found, the complex may have remained unfinished and was never used for burials.

Grave ALV 41

This poorly preserved grave lies on level ground and is oriented east-northeast-west-southwest. A stone enclosure could not be found. The burial chamber is probably an aisle grave with a trapezoidal floor plan. A total of five stones are still preserved, two of which are wall stones and two cap stones.

Grave ALV 42

This poorly preserved complex is located on a natural hill and is oriented east-southeast-west-southwest. A stone enclosure could not be found. The burial chamber is an aisle grave with a probably rectangular floor plan. The length of the chamber cannot be determined with certainty, the width is 2.8 m outside and 1.2 m inside.

The exact location of the entrance is unknown.

Grave ALV 44

This poorly preserved grave lies on level ground and has a south-east-north-west oriented mound bed with a length of 16 m. A stone enclosure could not be found. The heavily damaged burial chamber is probably a small passage grave with a rectangular floor plan. The exact dimensions cannot be determined. Only two wall stones and a cap stone are left. Presumably there were no longer cap stones originally. The exact location of the entrance is unknown.

Grave ALV 45

This grave lies on level ground. The orientation cannot be determined with certainty. A stone enclosure could not be found. The burial chamber is a dolmen. The inside length is 1.2 m and the inside width 1 m. Three wall stones have been preserved, two of which are in situ. A capstone is also preserved.
