The Nieby large stone grave was a Neolithic burial site near the municipality of Nieby , Geltinger Bucht in the Schleswig-Flensburg district , Schleswig-Holstein . The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.
description
The grave was located immediately to the east of the outskirts of Nieby at a fork in the road on land that was now overbuilt. More precise information is only possible thanks to Pastor Jensen's description from 1838. It was therefore a huge bed . There was a burial mound between the surrounding stones, the remains of which, according to Jakob Röschmann, are still there. The mound bed was divided lengthways into two halves by a row of stones. In the south there was a burial chamber that was opened in 1835. Ernst Sprockhoff lists the grave in his atlas of megalithic graves under number 34. Röschmann mentions another grave nearby that was 60 m long and 15 m wide, but no other information is available.
