The large stone grave Wollschow 1 in Wollschow near Brüssow in the Uckermark district , in the far north-east of Brandenburg, is located in a forest east of Wollschow and bears the Sprockhoff no. 462 (after Ewald Schuldt Tab. A; No. 959). The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. Chr.
The approximately northwest-southeast oriented, trapezoidal barn bed has a length of about 23 m. The width at the southern end is about 7.0 and at the northern end 4.0 m. Within the almost complete enclosure there are a number of larger stones, which presumably represent the stone packing of the chamberless giant bed .
Two stone boxes were added as subsequent fixtures , one of which has been preserved. The chamber at the south end was destroyed and the stones used for a bridge in Wollschow.
The small box in the northern part of the enclosure has been preserved. Their internal dimensions are 0.85 × 0.5 m. It is 0.5 meters below the Neolithic earth's surface. A larger stone nearby could be the former capstone. The skeletons of two six to eight-year-old children and the remains of another child's skeleton were found in the box in a crouched position . A cup-shaped vessel with a wide handle was also found.
In the badly destroyed necropolis of Wollschow there were 15 Urdolmen and 28 stone boxes, which could not always be clearly identified.
