The large stone graves of Frauenmark (also called Frauenmark 1 and 2) are located east of the village, north of the "Dorfstraße" from Frauenmark to Kossebade, in the field No. 1 and south of the road in the forest No. 2. The facilities are located in Friedrichsruhe district of Frauenmark in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

The megalithic systems , an ancient dolmen and a passage grave are large stone graves of the funnel cup culture (TBK) and were created between 3500 and 2800 BC. They have the Sprockhoff numbers. 409 and 410. “Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development ”. The facilities were excavated and reconstructed by Adolf Hollnagel in 1965 .

The Urdolmen

Scheme of parallel and transverse beds in the here rectangular barren bed

It is a well-preserved, approximately 14.5 m long north-west-south-east oriented trapezoidal barn bed with a small, transverse chamber (transverse lying) made of three supporting stones and a capstone. Two angled guard stones (one with a bowl ) stand at the northwest end of the here 8.5 m wide barren bed. The two stones on the narrow side are missing at the approximately 6.3 m wide southeast end. The remaining 21 curbs have been preserved. From the 1.2 m high, 2.3 m long and 1.6 m wide chamber, all supporting stones and a chamber-high half stone on the access side have been preserved. The remainder of the single capstone lies next to the chamber, which is sunk into the ground up to the top edge of the bearing stones. The floorboard consisted of rubble, annealed flint and clay screed . The finds consisted of a flat ax, a cross cutter and a wide-mouthed vessel.

The passage grave

Cross-sectional diagram through a passage grave

The east-west-oriented complex is a passage grave in the Rollsteinhügel with access in the south. The 1.8 m high, 7.7 m long and 3.0 or 1.8 m wide trapezoidal chamber consists of 12 supporting stones, all of which are present. One of the stones has nine bowls . The western keystone is broken, the eastern one pushed outwards. Two of the four cap stones are in and two next to the chamber. The stone next to the southern long side is probably one of the cap stones of the entrance . Remains of the intermediate masonry made of small stones can still be seen between some of the supporting stones on the long sides . The finds on the floorboard made of clay screed consisted of 26 shards, two heart-shaped arrowheads and a striking stone .

Nearby is the Friedrichsruhe dolmen .
