Nordsteimke Dolmengrab submitted by AlexHunger on 22nd Aug 2005. Nordsteimke Dolmengrab Front view.
Smallish 1.5 Meters by 1.9 Meters menhir with with unusually rounded cap stone, surounded by 6 boulder sized uprights and surounded by large vestigial tumulus. The Dolmen was discovered in 1972 and restored in 1975. The plaque says the dolmen dates to 2000 BCE, though this seems a little late for this type of monument. To the side of the parking lot in front of the Sports complex. Close to Wolfsburg, home of the VW Beetle.

Grosssteingrab am Dorm submitted by AlexHunger on 11th Sep 2005. Grosssteingrab am Dorm from South.
9 Meter long Allee Couverte dating to about 3500 BCE. This site was excavated in 1950 and relocated 200 Meters to the side of the hill in order to make room for more intensive farming. Due the jumbled state of the stones, the nearby Lübbensteine were used as inspiration.
