Nordsteimke Dolmengrab
Trip No.46 Entry No.8 Date Added: 27th Oct 2020
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2020. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
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.

Marienborn Opferstein
Trip No.46 Entry No.3 Date Added: 26th Oct 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2020. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Marienborn Opferstein submitted by AlexHunger on 2nd Oct 2005. Marienborn Opferstein, in Sachsen-Anhalt. 3 stones of this unrestored Alee Couverte are isible. Little research was done here on account of the proximity to the former Iron Curtain located just to the west. There are further tumuli to the south east, which are also not excavated.
This stone is unusual on account of the 2 bucket sized indentations, which led the stone to be named "Sacrifice Stone".

Marienborn Menhir
Trip No.46 Entry No.2 Date Added: 26th Oct 2020
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2020. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Marienborn Menhir submitted by AlexHunger on 26th Oct 2004. This Menhir stands in the center of the small pilgrimage town of Marienborn, about 12 Km east of Helmstedt in Saxony. I am not certain if it is original, but it would be proba-bly that it has been moved at some point as there once was quite a lot of building in and around the monastery and orangerie that represent the center of town. There are quite a few sites scattered around this small town, which I was not able to visit due to logistics constraints: Teufelsgrund (Devil’s Ground), Opferstei...

Heidenkrippe submitted by AlexHunger on 25th Sep 2005. Remains of broken Dolmen consisting of about 9 Stones. What was probably one of the capstones has a couple of holes in it that miraculously always contain water. In woods near Erxleben, Sachsen-Anhalt.
