East-West orientated six-capstone chamber near Uelzen in Lower Saxony. Most probably completely destroyed in the second half of the 19th century.



When Carl von Estorff (1811-1877) examined the tomb in the 1840s all chamber orthostats obviously were preserved in situ. He found 6 on each long side and one on each narrow side. The chamber was covered by six large capstones and had a length of approximately 11m. According to his drawing all were in situ except for the westernmost capstone. The barrow and the drywalling already were partly removed. He measured the capstones and calculated their weight at 67t.
