The Wredenhagen large stone grave is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Wredenhagen , a district of the municipality of Eldetal in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ).
location
The grave is located about 3.5 km southwest of Wredenhagen in the forest, just before the state border with Brandenburg . Another large stone grave may be located 3.5 km east in the same forest.
description
The complex has an elongated barn bed that has been preserved in remains . A few stones have been preserved from the original enclosure. A burial chamber can no longer be found, it was probably destroyed. It is therefore no longer possible to determine the exact type of grave.
No further information is available about the possible second grave.
