Great stone grave in Groß Kienitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Groß Kienitz was a presumed megalithic grave complex from the Neolithic near Groß Kienitz , a district of Blankenfelde-Mahlow in the Teltow-Fläming district ( Brandenburg ). In the 1920s, fragments of blasted boulders arranged in a circle were documented on the northern edge of the Kienitz Mountains, which were interpreted as the remains of a large stone grave. The dimensions, orientation and type of the system could no longer be reconstructed. Finds were not found at this time, which makes a cultural classification difficult. In later times, some reading findings were made, but it is not clear whether they are directly related to the grave. Before 1945, a “megalithic shard” ( funnel cup culture ?) Was found, which is said to have ended up in the Märkisches Museum in Berlin , but is now lost. Other shards that were found in 1979 can be clearly assigned to the funnel beaker culture. Furthermore, in 1937, traces of a Neolithic settlement were discovered near a sand pit.
