| Lochstein (Wenigzell) | Holed Stone | Austria | Visited | 11th Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 4 | There are two holed stones at the church. One is integrated into the outer wall, the other one stands around the corner at a bench and is nearly overgrown.

| Hoyerstein Gerbstedt | Holed Stone | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 4 | 4 | 5 | A little over 1 km west of Gerbstedt, in a small grove, stands the so-called Hoyerstein, also known as the Holey Stone or Gerbstedt Menhir. It was moved here in 1898; originally, it probably stood about 100 m further south. During the relocation, a stone cist grave was discovered. It is made of lignite quartzite; one side is heavily weathered, the other quite smooth. It is 1.10 m high, 1 m wide, and about 35 cm deep. Today, it serves as a memoria... Read More |

It is a possible menhir, although this classification is disputed. It is made of quartz, 1.20 m high, 3 m wide, and 40 cm deep. It was once used as a nail stone. A legend tells of blue flames being seen at this stone during thunderstorms. | ||
| Ringheiligtum Quenstedt | Timber Circle | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 1 | 5 | 3 | About 1 km southwest of Quenstedt, on a natural hilltop, lies the so-called Schalkenburg, a natural promontory where a ring sanctuary once stood. It is attributed to the late Linear Pottery culture and was probably built around 6700 years ago. The ring sanctuary consisted of five palisade rings constructed of wooden stakes. The outer ring had a diameter of approximately 100 meters, and according to one calculation, over 5000 tree trunks were need... Read More |

| Speckstein | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Just under 6 km south of the "Blue Goose" menhir, on the southeastern edge of Aschersleben, stands a menhir called the Soapstone. It crowns an artificial hill built on a natural rise. The stone is likely still in its original location, but it has toppled over several times over the centuries. Archaeological excavations took place here in 1885 and 1932, revealing that the stone stands directly on a stone-packed grave. This grave contained no grave... Read More |

| Schneiderberg Baalberge | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The Schneiderberg in Baalberge lies within a garden allotment and is a burial mound that was used by various cultures over a period of more than 2000 years. Excavations at this mound were carried out in 1901, and the stone-packed grave of the Baalberge culture was discovered in the lowest layers. However, it could not be completely uncovered because a trigonometric survey point is located directly above it. The mound is almost 6 meters high and h... Read More |

| Menhir Blaue Gans | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 4 | 4 | 3 | The menhir "Blue Goose" is located about 4 km north of Aschersleben in a small wooded area. It likely still stands in its original location and was toppled in 1945 during an attempt to remove it. It has since been re-erected. Made of lignite quartzite, it is 1.84 m high, 1.88 m wide, and 60 cm deep. Nails were driven into its broad sides. The name "Blue Goose" suggests that this stone was once used as a judgment stone, as these types of stones we... Read More |

| Guddenstein | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 4 | 2 | 5 | The Guddenstein, or Gudenesstein, is a menhir that has been repurposed as a monument. It stands within the village of Guesten, whose name likely derives from this very Guddenstein. The name "Guddenstein" evolved first into "Guszsten" and later into "Guesten." The stone is made of quartzite, is 3.70 meters high, 1.40 meters wide, and 58 centimeters thick. It probably originally stood about 300 meters northwest of the train station, where old maps ...

| Stockhof Gröna | Artificial Mound | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 3rd Mar 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The so-called Stockhof near Gröna is a burial mound of the Bernburg culture. Excavations were carried out here in 1884, and the finds made here, along with several others, formed the basis for the definition of a Bernburg ceramic style. At the time of the excavation, the mound was 30 meters long and 7 meters wide, but it was probably even wider. A walled chamber grave was discovered in the mound, containing numerous human skeletons. Both children... Read More |

| Marienborn Menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 10th Dec 2025 | 4 | 3 | 5 | I went there in December 2025 and I wonder if this stone is really a menhir. In my opinion it is more likely, that it belonged to a dolmen. Or maybe it was used in later times. Those kind of stones can be found in nearly every village in Saxony-Anhalt. | ||
