Great stone grave Stavenhagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stavenhagen large stone grave was a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Stavenhagen in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It is mentioned in two medieval documents from 1282 and 1283 as sepulchrum gigantis and marked the border of the field mark of Stavenhagen. It was destroyed in the 1830s for the extraction of building material for road construction. Its former location was later referred to as "Resenberg". The complex had a rectangular barren bed surrounded by stone. No information is available about the burial chamber .
