Great stone grave Kricheldorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Kricheldorf was a possible megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic deep engraving ceramic culture near Kricheldorf , a district of Salzwedel in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel , Saxony-Anhalt . It was probably destroyed in the 19th century at the latest. A description of the facility is not available, its possible existence is only proven by the designation "pieces of stone" on a historical measuring table. Neolithic flint tools were found there around 1900, some of which can be viewed in the Johann Friedrich Danneil Museum .
