Reinfeld Steingrab submitted by maddy : October 2009 (Vote or comment on this photo)
The previously restored Dolmen of Reinfeld which consists of 10 standing stones and 3 capstones.

Located on a hill in a forest (Neuer Hau) near Reinfeld. Parking is possible in the 'Schuhwiese' [53.84131N 10.48452E]. From there is a beautiful footpath to the tomb. At last you walk up the stairs to the hilltop.

I didn't find any information there, when it was restored for example.

What i found was some tiny pictures on old postcards. The tomb looks surprisingly different there, as if it wasn't the same.

Note: Neolithic passage grave desecrated by a large campfire, see the photo and comment on this page

Neolithic passage grave desecrated by large campfire by Andy B on Friday, 21 August 2015

Grabschändung in Reinfelds Forst
3000 Jahre altes Hünengrab bei Feier am Lagerfeuer mutwillig beschädigt / Spaziergängerin „tief betroffen und wütend“ .

Mutwillige Zerstörung mitten im Reinfelder Forst „Neuer Hau“. Versteckt im Wäldchen liegt das Hünengrab aus der späten Jungsteinzeit. Ein unscheinbares Hinweisschild führt den Wanderer dorthin. Nur wenige wissen, wo das Hünengrab in der Nähe des Herrenteiches überhaupt ist.

Grave desecration in clean field forest
3000 years old passage grave willfully damaged in celebration around the campfire. Walker "deeply saddened and angry". Rocks of the megalithic tomb were blown away literally.

Wanton destruction right in Reinsfelder Forest "New Hau". Tucked away in the woods, the passage grave is from the late Neolithic period. An inconspicuous signpost leads hikers there. Few know where the passage grave near the pond Lord of all.

How it must have but rioters who - guarded by dense deciduous trees around - unobserved and safe swayed, as they have right on Megalithgrab a big bonfire kindled and probably celebrated neatly around the grave. Spaziergängerin Anna-Lena Wulf trust on Saturday morning her eyes when she saw broken glass, broken glass bottles and remains of a fire at the passage grave. "Due to the excessive heat parts were simply blown away by a cover and a support stone", they are outraged. Deep cracks show up in the 3,000 year-old rock. It is, so the Reinfelderin to assume that these are even deeper by winter frost.

Anna-Lena Wulf assumes that the campfire ignited last Friday and was afterwards deleted from unknown assailants again. Traces of it should be seen on the forest floor. The shards lying around has disposed of them for children, walkers and animals do not injure yourself. "I am deeply saddened and angry", says the young woman, "Once again an example of what people do to careless of the environment."
