Research history
The large stone grave was first mentioned in 1941 by Johann Karl Wächter . Johannes Heinrich Müller and Jacobus Reimers thought it had been destroyed in 1893. Ernst Sprockhoff, who visited the area in 1926, confused the location of the grave with that of the foundling Matthiesing's sacrificial stone and therefore did not include it in his atlas of megalithic graves in Germany . The grave was not rediscovered until 1978.
