The passage grave Wiemelsberger stones (also Ueffeln 1 called) is a neolithisches passage grave with the Sprockhoff no. 897. It originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system 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.
The Wiemelsberg stones are located on the northern edge of the Wiemelsberg in Ueffeln-Balkum , a district of Bramsche in the Osnabrück district in Lower Saxony .
description
The complex consists only of the east-west oriented stone chamber, which is, however, well preserved. All 12 bearing stones and both keystones are in situ . All six capstones have also been preserved, four of them in situ. The system has a length of 10.5 meters and a comparatively large width of 3.3 meters. You can also see the access, on the south side with the twice flattened stones and the remains of the hill. In 1807 an excavation was carried out on behalf of Count Georg von Münster (1776–1844). The finds from the funnel beaker culture ( amber beads , ceramics and stone utensils) are kept in the Landesmuseum Hannover .
Old reports tell of another large stone grave in the so-called Büdenfelde near the Ueffelner Friedhof, which is said to have consisted of ten bearing stones, seven cap stones and a border. Ernst Sprockhoff could not make up his mind to recognize the 3.3 × 2.8 × 1.7 meter boulder, which is now called Matthiesing's sacrificial stone , as the rest of this grave. The real location of this large stone grave, which was destroyed in the 19th century, was found again in 1978 during surveying work 1.5 kilometers north of Ueffeln. About 900 meters southwest in the arable land (east of the road to Mettingen) are the meager remains of a small stone chamber (Sprockhoff no. 897), only one end of which has remained intact.
