The Östringer stones I-III are mostly heavily damaged Neolithic large stone graves of the passage grave type with the Sprockhoff no. 911-913. They originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development. In 1987, the facilities were incorporated into the nature reserve "Hochufer und Altarm der Nette am Oestringer Esch".
The stones are located north of Dodesheide on the road (Östringer Weg) from Rulle to Haste in the Nettetal in the Osnabrück district of Haste in Lower Saxony . Plant III is located near the Östringer mill and plant I and II are on the opposite side of the road. All of them were surrounded by oval stone wreaths that are only incomplete. In older investigations, among other things, an arrowhead , deep-engraved pottery and bone fragments were found.
Oestringer stones I
According to Ernst Sprockhoff , Sprockhoff no. 913 around a 15-meter-long chamber sunk into the ground, the structure of which was similar to the neighboring stones II. You can still see the remains of nine capstones, some bearing stones and numerous edging stones.
Östringer stones II
The originally over 15 meter long Sprockhoff no. 912 was surrounded by an enclosure from which numerous stones have been preserved. Remnants of hills cannot be seen, however. There are still eight, of the former 11 capstones and the fragments of others, while most of the bearing stones are missing. Presumably the chamber was sunk into the ground. The stones at the eastern end noted by Sprockhoff have disappeared.
Östringer stones III
A dirt road leads to the northeast to the west of the homestead. At the end of the hedge is the heavily damaged passage grave Sprockhoff no. 911 behind a fence on private property. Sprockhoff assumed that the chamber originally had six capstones and was 9.6 × 2.3 meters in size.
Nearby are the Helmich Stones , the Schwedenschanze von Belm and the Wittekindsburg von Rulle.
