Log Text: A really beautiful museum. Although not particularly large, it still shines with a very large number of finds, expert staff who are happy to inform you about the exhibits, changing special exhibitions and an in-house shop where you can buy true-to-the-original self-made stone axes etc. from the museum's volunteer staff. It was definitely worth the visit today and I will be happy to come back!

Stapelstein
Date Added: 20th Aug 2022

Visited: Yes on 20th Aug 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Stapelstein submitted by Martin_L on 8th May 2015. From the SE. Photo taken May 2015. The site consists of an eroded round barrow-like structure with what appears to be the remains of a bronze-age (?) stone-cist situated on top of it. Some minor stones visibleat the edges of the barrow. According to historic reports the site has been excavated and damaged in historic times. At least an excavation in 1877 is recorded, but it revealed no grave goods.
What we see today most probably does not represent the original arrangement of the stones. ...

Drethem Schalenstein
Date Added: 29th Aug 2022
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 29th Aug 2022. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 1 Access 5
Drethem Schalenstein submitted by holger_rix on 16th Sep 2009. Schalenstein (cup marked stone) near Drethem.
The stone was found by a farmer in 1968.
Somebody counted 44 marks scattered over one side of the stone.
The stone was brought to a place near the road from Drethem to Hitzacker.
A very inappropiate place.
And, in my oppinion, it should have been placed
with the marks showing upwards.
That would have been, most likely, closer to the original position.

Log Text: The cups are clearly visible and can also be felt very well. Unfortunately, due to the stone itself, they don't come into 'magic' like on the other photos right now.

Wanna Steingrab (15) submitted by CharcoalBurner89 on 4th Sep 2022. After the excavation, this megalithic tomb was backfilled with earth just like Wanna #16 and 17. However, the capstones protrude a little from the ground.

Highly recommended for both adults and children! The heart of the prehistoric collection is the "Forum Gesseler Goldhort".

The largest preserved capstone measures appr. 4,1m x 2,7m. This capstone is supported by two orthostats of the southeastern longside. Sprockhoff assumed, that the entrance was located between these orthostats.
