Oldendorfer Fuhrenkamp (2) submitted by Martin_L on 25th Feb 2011. Aerial view from the West. Eastern chamber part. In brackets: robbed.
Only 4 orthostats are preserved: The eastern chamber end orthostat and one adjacent orthostat of each long side. When Sprockhoff et al. examined the site there was another orthostat in situ at position N3 (counting from the East). Nowadays this is not visible anymore, but instead there is a largely buried orthostat at position N2. Seemingly in situ.

Oldendorfer Fuhrenkamp (1) submitted by Martin_L on 27th Mar 2009. Western part. The numbers refer to the sketch plan. Remains of a partly destroyed, large chambered tomb orientated nearly East-West. At least 17 stones are visible nowadays, but still deeply embedded into the eroded barrow. Possibly other stones are still covered. Earthwork measuring approximately 32m x 12m x 2 m (May 2008).

Oldendorf Steingrab 2 submitted by greywether on 8th Jul 2005. "Steingrab II". I'm not sure what distinguishes a "steingrab" from a "hünenbett" - maybe someone can help. Nice anyway.

Oldendorf Langbett 4 submitted by Martin_L on 24th Jan 2012. Pole aerial view of 80m long barrows' north-western part. The barrow was believed to have no chamber, but Prof. van Giffen an his team (who were invited to examinate and excavate this site) discovered the passage grave chamber. It was well preserved except for the capstones.

Log Text: Most of the tumuli are damaged as described in the article and have already been excavated etc.
The hint for the hardly available car parking space is good, as you have to walk for some time before you can enter the forest.

Ohrensen Steingrab submitted by Martin_L on 15th Jun 2010. Looking along the southern long-side (from a height of approx. 6m). The two “x” mark the ends of the remains of this large chambered and kerbed long-barrow measuring 48m by 7m . The chamber was located near the centre (marked with “C”).
To get an impression how the site originally looked compare with similar sites in Germany and Denmark in better condition. For example: Kleinenkneter Steine , Karlsminde , Grønsalen
While the earthwork of the western part is comparatively well pr...
