Stone row from Langenbach
The stone row of Langenbach is a stone row near Langenbach , a district of Geroldsgrün in the Hof district in Bavaria . Your time position is not certain; it could come from prehistoric times, but also from modern times .
location
The row of stones is located west of Langenbach on the edge of a field, about 300 m south of another row of stones known as the Twelve Apostles .
description
The stones consist of diabase , a basalt rock. They form a 13 m long, almost northwest-southeast running row, which lies parallel to an overgrown stone wall. From northwest to southeast the five stones have the following dimensions:
| No. | height | width | thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 91 cm | 50 cm | 31 cm |
| 2 | 76 cm | 62 cm | 37 cm |
| 3 | 82 cm | 62 cm | 20 cm |
| 4th | 30 cm | 40 cm | 80 cm |
| 5 | 20 cm | 60 cm | 91 cm |
The two southwestern stones are no longer upright. They are a little further away from the three standing stones, which form a section that is only 3.5 m long. A prehistoric classification of the stone row is not certain. It could also be just a medieval or even modern pasture boundary . An archaeological investigation that could clarify this question has not yet taken place.
