Great stone grave Alt Gaarz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Alt Gaarz was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Alt Gaarz , a district of Jabel in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It was preserved by Robert Beltz in 1899 and Friedrich Schlie in 1902, so it was only destroyed in the early 20th century. Its exact location is not known. There is also no further information on the orientation, dimensions and type of grave.
