Idstedter robber cave
The Idstedter Robber's Cave ( Danish: Røverhulen ) is one of the few passage graves in Schleswig-Holstein that is still in good condition. It is a plant of the funnel beaker culture (TBK), which between 3500 and 2800 BC. Was created. The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems , which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.
It is located south of Idstedt in an approximately 2.5 m high round hill with a diameter of over 17 m in a confusing right-hand bend on the Arenholzfeld road from Schleswig to Idstedt. Coming from Schleswig 150 m after the junction "Wilhelmslust" on the right of the road, about 10 m in the forest.
The trapezoidal 4.4 m long and 1.5 to 2 m wide chamber is about 1.5 m high inside. It is formed by nine bearing stones and three cap stones. The once 3.5 m long corridor is only partially preserved. No finds were made.
