Great stone grave in Rassau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave in Rassau was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Rassau , a district of Suhlendorf in the Uelzen district ( Lower Saxony ). It was destroyed in the 19th century. The grave was to the northwest of the village, not far to the north were the large stone graves at Hanstedt II . The grave was documented by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff in the 1840s , but was already destroyed at that time and could therefore not be described in more detail. No information is available on the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. The card signature only shows that it had a rectangular barren bed .
