Nordic megalith architecture

Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered as indicator of social development. Early on it was thought behind these graves a religious movement (JK Guardians 1841, p 9). This could be similar to Christianity in only 2000 years, in the course of more than 8000 years, split into different sects (VG Childe 1947, p 46). The characteristics of the plants could then be determined regionally.

Elements

E. Schuldt divided the architecture elements:

In Denmark, some systems have a multi-layer (mostly two-layer ) wall construction. In one of the plants of New Gaarz and Lancken -Granitz Mecklenburg he is only partial in two layers. The Rævehøj of Dalby on the Danish island of Zealand shows a three-to four-layered wall structure, whereby the chamber height of the otherwise rather than 1.75 meter high chambers grow to about 2.5 meters. In Liepen (Mecklenburg) and in some other places it is multi-layered in the range of about 0.5 meters above About Lieger.

Quarters or sections

The long rectangular enclosure of the hill more or less large kerbstones is widespread in the Nordic Megalitharchitektur. It is called in Germany barrow or long bed ( in the Netherlands hunebed ). There are also round, D- shaped (Lübeck -Blankensee, Gowen / Plön ) and trapezoidal enclosures, of which in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 17 were excavated ( at five different chamber types). The geometry of the enclosure is independent of the type or shape of the chamber that surrounds them. Only in the Wötz parallelism of trapezoidal barrow and trapezoidal chamber is the notable exception. The megaliths of Nieby and Philippstal should -been divided lengthwise by a stone set into two halves. In the southern half of Nieby there was a chamber in Philippstal were there together three chambers that were in two halves. The lying in hunebeds dolmens or passage tombs can be rectangular, trapezoidal or rather oval. You can lie in the hills along (mostly at hunebeds with Urdolmen ) or transverse ( cross Lieger, mostly for systems with gears ). One example is the megaliths of Grundoldendorf (municipality Apensen, Kreis Stade ). There are also several dolmens and passage graves within an enclosure before ( Ellested on Fyn ( 5), Waabs at Eckernförde ( 3) ). There are also different types of plants in the same barrow. In Idstedt a chamber in an outgoing circular hill of 10 meters in diameter was detected, the starting point for the expansion of the system to a long barrow his part, however, this was only detectable in trace amounts.
