Stueh Grabhuegelgruppe
Date Added: 23rd Apr 2021
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Stueh Grabhuegelgruppe submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 12th Mar 2021. The bronze age barrow cemetery is largely overgrown by natural plants and forestry management. The tumuli are extremely difficult to find and hardly visible in wood because they are not very high.
On the photo you can see the tumulus located northeast (exact location: Latitude: 53.45813N, Longitude: 9.24708E).
You can find more information in this book:

Heine Steingrab 2
Date Added: 23rd Apr 2021
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Heine Steingrab 2 submitted by Martin_L on 11th Jan 2008. Heine Tomb 2 (Sprockhoff No. 626)
The southend of the chamber.
Most likely the two southernmost uprights on the western- and eastern chamberside were removed in historic times. So there is some evidence, that the large southern capstone was originally placed on 5 uprights. In general this is a rare feature in this area but there is another example in the neighbourhood (Lehnstedt, Tomb 1, Sprockhoff No. 621).

Log Text: A really beautiful dolmen even if it is heavily overgrown. There is no direct path to reach it, so you have to find a route through the forest via GPS.

Lehnstedt Steingrab 1 submitted by hermitano on 29th Apr 2005. The appearance of the Lehnstedt site varies according to the viewing angle. Here it looks rather like a giant tortoise.

Ostereistedt Steingrab
Date Added: 30th Mar 2021

Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
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: The Long Barrow is right next to the local village cemetery. There are very good parking facilities and the grave is not very difficult to miss due to the large oak tree next to it.
