Megalithic tombs near Niendorf I

The megalithic graves near Niendorf I were a group of 18 graves of the Neolithic funnel beaker culture near the district of Niendorf I in the district of Uelzen, which belonged to the municipality of Römstedt. The graves were all destroyed in the 19th century. They were originally part of an extensive necropolis, which also included at least 24 graves in the area of the municipality of Altenmedingen. A survey of the sites was made in the 1840s by Georg Otto Carl von Estorff, which means that a more detailed description of nine graves is available. In his Atlas of Megalithic Graves in Germany, Ernst Sprockhoff assigned the numbers 758–765 to eight of them.
The graves found in Niendorf I were divided into three groups: The first and largest group originally comprised 28 megalithic tombs and numerous burial mounds. The complexes stretched in a dense row from Niendorf I via the Haaßel residential area, which belonged to Altenmedingen, to the outskirts of Altenmedingen. 15 of these megalithic tombs were located in the area of Niendorf I, the remaining 13 in the area of Altenmedingen. In addition, there were two more graves northeast of Niendorf I and another south of the village.
