Log Text: It is best to visit the 'Siebensteinhäuser' on Lower Saxony / German public holidays. The identity card is to be carried. As the megalithic tombs are located in a restricted military area, visits are only permitted at certain times that can be viewed on the Internet (here, too, there may be deviations!). I made the visit between Christmas and New Year, as there are usually no military maneuvers at this time.

Molmke Steingrab submitted by holger_rix on 30th Oct 2009. 1.4km west of the small village Molmke, south of Diesdorf, not far from Diesdorf Steingrab 3, there is another typical 'Altmark Grossdolmen' with enclosure.
And same as the other barrows in the area, the enclosure has two oversized guardian stones in the corners of the south-east end.
Unfortunately the NW part of the enclosure is missing.
Thats exactly where the comparative well preserved chamber is located.
There is something unusual about this chamber.
It has a trapezoid shape, ...

Mehmke Steingrab 2 submitted by holger_rix on 6th Nov 2009. Chamber with three pairs of uprights on the long sides, rectangle shape 4m x 1.4m.
Five of the eight orthostats remain and three capstones.
But almost all these stones have been moved or are out of place, so the tomb gives the impression of just a pile of big stones.
