Ostereistedt Steingrab

Site Type: Passage Grave

Visited: Yes on 17th Jan 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Ostereistedt Steingrab submitted by holger_rix on 19th Apr 2010. Comparably lengthy Chambered Tomb, chamber was
build with 7 orthostats on each long side in NE-SW orientation.
The NE single orthostat on the short side is in situ.
There are 4 orthostats of the NW long side still in position,
5 on the opposite. (According to Sprockhoff's text)
Nowadays it seems that you can see the tips if one
more orthostat on each side.
Remains of most likely a former capstone are resting
in the chamber. More remains of former capstones are
scattered around ...

Log Text: The biggest problem is that all ways to the grave are overgrown or no longer exist. Sometimes you even come across signs in the forest that show you nonexistent paths. It's best to rely on your GPS to find it.

Log Text: From the information board on site:
The oldest complex in this prehistoric burial ground is the stone grave.
According to a report from 1841, the burial chamber, which was already damaged at that time, was called "Steinhaus" - "Stone House" or "Hünenkeller" - "Giant Cellar"; around 1871 it was romantically called "Fürstengruft" - „Prince Crypt“.
Like all similar complexes from this age, the stone monument served as a family crypt around 2500 BC.
All the gaps between the large boulders were wedged with rubble stones and covered with clay on the outside. The whole burial chamber was hidden under a mound of earth. Neolithic grave goods have not been preserved here.
During the archaeological investigation in 1978, one capstone and 5 torn apart, partly damaged carrier stones were still present. A capstone had already been removed around 1920 and used as a war memorial.
The administration of the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) restored the complex based on the excavation findings using the example of other stone graves. The remaining stones were moved together in a new arrangement.

Steinfeld Steingrab 2 submitted by AlexHunger on 1st May 2006. This relatively compact Alee Couverte consists of 8 uprights while 2 out of 3 cap stones survive. A fragment of the 3rd lies just beside the tomb. Archeologists presume the former tumulus was surrounded by kerbstones.
The site has been restored since Sprockhoff's survey in the 1930s.

Log Text: From the information board on site:
From 2700 to 2000 BC the stone graves served our oldest farmers as crypts.
The huge boulders could be moved and lifted by a few people with lever bars and rollers. The transport was best done on hard frozen ground. The capstones are hewn on the sides so that they could form a closed ceiling. There were gaps between the side stones. From this it can be seen that the cap stones were first brought into their final position on a mound of earth or wooden scaffolding and the side stones were fitted individually underneath. For this purpose, the gaps between the supporting stones were required as space for movement. All holes and gaps were wedged with rubble stones and sealed from the outside with clay. The whole complex has had a round mound over it.

Horneburg Langbett 4 submitted by Martin_L on 27th Apr 2010. The chamber of the kerbed long-barrow viewed from above (pole aerial)
As usual the orthostats are slightly inclined towards the chamber, but due to erosion of the earthwork the eastern chamber endstones' inclination increased significantly. The capstones C2 and C3 are robbed otherwise the chamber is well preserved. Especially the western third of the chamber and the passage section are in very good condition. April 2010
