Large stone grave with the largest capstone in Schleswig-Holstein (about 23 tons in weight).

Legends and legends loom around the Burtkamp - just because of the size of the capstone. Its location was long outside of Albersdorf and magical powers were attributed to the place. Today the striking large stone grave is of course part of the Albersdorf coat of arms.

There are no excavation findings for the Brutkamp. The grave and burial mound were not excavated, and that is perhaps a good thing, since excavations destroy such a ground monument first and then have to be restored to its original condition.

You can find out more about the topic of megalithic graves in the Albersdorf Museum of Archeology and Ecology on Bahnhofstrasse.

A megalithic grave to touch. It is very impressive how hundreds of years ago our ancestors processed these mighty stones without machines.

Neolithic megalithic tomb
This megalithic tomb from the Neolithic period (from 3400 BC) was examined in detail in 1908. It was completely preserved, ceramics and flint tools were found as grave goods.

What is special about this grave are the different representations in one of the three large capstones, most of which look like small bowls - hence the name. But there are also hands (in pairs), a foot, a circle around one of the bowls and shallow grooves.
