The menhir of Strenznaundorf is possibly a prehistoric menhir near Strenznaundorf , a district of Könnern in the Salzland district , Saxony-Anhalt .
location
According to Waldtraut Schrickel , the stone is near the field path to Trebnitz , on the other side of the railway line between Könnern and Belleben .
description
The stone consists of brown coal quartzite and is 1.5 m high, 1.3 m wide and 0.7 m thick. When Waldtraut Schrickel was examined in 1957, he was standing upright and completely overgrown by a hedge. Processing traces could not be found. Schrickel did not consider the classification as a menhir to be assured. In 1991, Hans-Jürgen Beier still listed the stone as preserved and only classified it as a presumed menhir. It is unclear whether the stone still exists today; it is not listed in the 2016 list of monuments of the state of Saxony-Anhalt
Finds from the area around the stone date from the Iron Age and the Middle Ages .
