Leetze Steingrab 4 submitted by holger_rix on 7th Oct 2009. This tomb is on private property.
You have to ask the owner for access.
There are the remains of a tomb, with complete uprights, as it seems.
It looks like the most have moved outwards, the two visible capstones have fallen into the chamber. According to the informations on a board accross the street this tomb has been examined between 1936 and 1939.
These are the kids of the owner.
