Giegenitz large stone grave

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Giegenitz was a presumed megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Giegenitz , a no longer existing settlement south of Lohme on the island of Rügen in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It was destroyed in the late 19th or early 20th century. No information is available about the exact location and appearance of the facility. When the grave was destroyed, four flint tools (two chisels , a spearhead and a dagger ) were recovered, which were acquired in 1910/11 by the Society for Pomeranian History and Archeology for the Stettin City Museum . Ewald Schuldt and Hans-Jürgen Beier erroneously lead the grave under the place name Giepnitz .
