Research history
When Johann Friedrich Danneil first tried to document all of the major stone graves in the Altmark in 1843, he overlooked the complex in Friedrichsfleiß. It was only described by Eduard Krause and Otto Schoetensack when it was re-recorded in the early 1890s. 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”.
