**Großsteingrab bei Bramstedt** submitted by CharcoalBurner89 : April 30, 2021 (Vote or comment on this photo)

Die Großsteingräber bei Bramstedt were two megalithic graves of the Neolithic Funnelbeaker culture near Bramstedt, a village in Hagen im Bremischen in the district of Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony. They were almost destroyed in the 19th century.

The Grave No. 1 was about 1.8 km north of the center of Bramstedt, directly west of the road to Wittstedt near a gravel pit. The exact location of the second grave is not known. Grave 1 was destroyed around 1825 (we owe this information to the local researcher Hans Müller-Brauel). Ernst Sprockhoff found eleven stones lying around in disarray at this location in 1927, which no longer allowed any conclusions to be drawn about the original appearance of the graves. No more detailed information are available about the second grave.

The origins of the graves can possibly be dated back to 3500 to 2800 BC. Unfortunately, the Wikipedia page does not provide any precise information about the current status of megalithic Grave No. 1.

When I looked up the existing coordinates, I was also able to see a lot of scattered megalitic stones in the area like Sprockhoff in 1927. The grave is destroyed, but there actually seem to be several stones left.

More information can be found in the following books/magazines:
- Müller-Brauel, Hans (1908/09/10): Die vorgeschichtlichen Denkmäler des Kreises Geestemünde. In: Jahresbericht der Männer vom Morgenstern. Band 11, p. 166.
- Ernst Sprockhoff, Ernst (1975): Atlas der Megalithgräber Deutschlands. Teil 3: Niedersachsen – Westfalen. Rudolf-Habelt Verlag, Bonn 1975, p. 8
