The Poldenhünensteine are a passage grave in the municipality Spahnharrenstätte , in the district of Emsland in Lower Saxony . The megalithic complex from the Neolithic was created by the funnel beaker culture (TBK) between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC. 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.
description
The system with the Sprockhoff no. 829 has a chamber six meters long. Since the eastern capstone is missing, Sprockhoff, who started the installation in 1926, assumes that it originally had at least one additional pair of bearing stones in the east. The middle of the three original capstones is missing. Otherwise, the east-west-oriented 1.7 to 2.0 meter wide chamber is complete. Remnants of the hill are visible. Only two stones remain from the original hillside. The entrance was probably on the south side of the chamber. From between 3500 and 2800 BC Some ceramic shards of the funnel beaker culture are known to have been built in BC .
