Oldendorfer Totenstatt Megalithic Tombs

I'll save myself the copy-key, which is largely done here - and with such frequency that it makes you sick.Oldendorfer Totenstatt is an old large stone grave in the countryside of Oldendorf (Luhe). Mighty boulders form a burial chamber here, which has been used several times over the centuries.A picnic area invites you to take a break. The unusual shape of the valley immediately catches the eye.It is believed that this valley was formed by a river at the end of the Ice Age and therefore received its shape. From here you can easily get to Kronsbergheide. The Heath Queen of Amelinghausen has been elected there since 1950. Heather Blossom Festival takes place every year in the 3rd week of August.Totenstatt is a RAD-free zone! MTB and gravel cyclists should pay particular attention...the Totenstatt is not a lawless area

From here it is still 800m to the Oldendorfer Totenstatt on the old cobblestone street. But you can also drive along the edge of the sand strip relatively well on both sides.

The Oldendorf Totenstatt (about 1.5 kilometers from the town center located) is one of the most interesting stone tombs of the district Lüneburg and a real attraction. You should definitely visit this landmark of the Lüneburg Heath.Here are sites from almost all pre- and protohistoric eras united in one place.
From the last century comes the first site plan of the Oldendorf Totenstatt with the corresponding numbering of the graves, which has been maintained until today. F. Laux, the excavator of the dead place, had created a connection with the pottery finds and the corresponding design of the megalithic tombs, which enabled him to recognize a temporal sequence. For this reason, the graves are listed chronologically.The burial mounds in and around the dead place belong to the later Neolithic and Bronze Age, but most are not (yet) studied. The same applies to 2 urn cemeteries of the pre-Roman Iron Age and the time of the migrations, as well as various sites of the early and middle Stone Age. Obviously, the site of the dead place has always been a popular place.
The finds that were found in the tombs of the funerary can be seen in the Archaeological Museum Oldendorf / Luhe (Amelinghausener Str. 16b). There you will also find the permanent position "Apartments for all eternity - 5700 years Oldendorf Totenstatt".Source:
