Großsteingrab Sachsenwald Alter Hau 1

The Großsteingrab Sachsenwald Alter Hau 1 extends 154 meters in length and 8.5 meters in width, featuring partially preserved earth banks reaching 0.5 meters in height.

This megalithic structure from the Neolithic period represents one of several burial monuments constructed by early farming communities in northern Germany during the 4th millennium BCE.

The site belongs to a network of megalithic tombs in the Sachsenwald region, reflecting the burial practices and construction methods of prehistoric northern European societies.

Visitors can access the site by following the road from Glinde to Witzhave, turning towards Ohe until reaching Sachsenwaldau settlement, then crossing a bridge into the forest.

The long barrow maintains its original northwest-southeast orientation and contains stones believed to be remnants of the northwestern narrow side, displaced by a walking path.
