The remains of the large stone grave Pinnesgrab (Danish: Pinnesgrav ) are located south of Satrup in a forest called Rehbergholz, so they belong to the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.

It is a rectangular barren bed facing east-west with two chambers. The dimensions of the enclosure are 33 × 6.5 m. In the eastern part of the megalithic bed there is an obliquely transverse extended dolmen , the entrance to which was probably in the south. There is only a pair of carriers and a towed capstone. Remains of a second chamber can be found in the western part of the enclosure.

Up until the end of the 19th century, the inhabitants of the surrounding villages made a pilgrimage to this grave in the early morning of Pentecost Sunday to hold a happy feast with coffee and cake to music.

In Ernst Sprockhoff's "Atlas of Germany's Megalithic Tombs" the large stone grave is listed as "Sprockhoff 40".
