The large stone grave Bülitz is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic deep engraving ceramic culture near Bülitz , a district of the town of Bismark (Altmark) in the district of Stendal , in the Altmark in Saxony-Anhalt .
location
The facility is located 900 m west of Bülitz, on the "Großer Trappenberg", directly on the boundary with Beesewege .
There are several other large stone graves in the vicinity. About 1 km to the southwest is the Beesewege stone grave , the Hohenwulsch-Friedrichsfleiß stone grave 1.8 km to the north-northeast and the Kläden stone grave to the south-east .
Research history
The grave was first described by Johann Friedrich Danneil in 1843 . In the 1890s, Eduard Krause and Otto Schoetensack carried out a new survey of the great stone graves of the Altmark. In 2003-04, all remaining large stone graves in the Altmark were recorded and measured as a joint project of the State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology of Saxony-Anhalt , the Johann Friedrich Danneil Museum in Salzwedel and the association “Young Archaeologists of the Altmark”.
description
The grave belongs to the type of large dolmen and has a pile of mounds, which is located within an enclosure and reaches a height of 0.9 m. The enclosure is largely destroyed. It only consists of six stones and is 9.4 m wide. Johann Friedrich Danneil found it in very good condition in 1843. He described it as trapezoidal with a length of 26.7 m and a width between 8.8 m and 10.0 m. At that time she still had particularly large guard stones .
The burial chamber is oriented northeast-southwest and consists of twelve bearing stones and one of the original three cap stones. The capstone measures 3.5 m × 2.7 m × 1.3 m. Like the enclosure, the chamber is trapezoidal. It has a length of 5.7 m and a width between 1.7 m and 2.2 m, its height is 0.7 m.
The grave, like the large stone grave Kläden , was bought by canon Alexander von Levetzow in the 19th century to save it from destruction. This is evidenced by a sandstone plaque leaning against the north side of the grave with an inscription that has meanwhile been faded.
