Altes Lager, Archaeological site with stone ship formation in Niedergörsdorf, Germany

Altes Lager is an archaeological site on a sand knoll by the Peene, 1.5 km south of Menzlin near Anklam. It covers about 18 hectares and holds eight ship-shaped stone settings, twelve stone circles, 33 cremation graves and a cremation place, excavated between 1965 and 1969.

In the 9th century, a settlement of about 18 hectares stood on a sand knoll by the Peene, shared by Lutician Tollensians and Vikings. Excavations in 1965–1969 uncovered a wooden bridge and a cremation cemetery with eight ship-shaped stone settings, 12 stone circles, 33 cremation graves and a ustrine. Dendrochronology dates most finds to the early and middle 9th century; the name Altes Lager recalls the Great Elector's 1676 camp during the siege of Anklam.

The site's name, "Old Camp", probably recalls the encampment of the Great Elector's army during the 1676 siege of Anklam; the early medieval settlement itself is known by the field name "Peeneberg". The original Viking-age name is lost, which has led to speculation linking the place with the legendary Vineta or with Jomsborg.

The site lies about 1.5 km south of Menzlin on the bank of the Peene, reached on foot from the village. The excavated area is a sandy knoll with the stone settings in open ground; the terrain is uneven and sturdy shoes help. The graves and stone ships are best seen in low vegetation, outside the growing season.

The site's name, "Old Camp", probably recalls the encampment of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, during his 1676 siege of Anklam; the early medieval settlement itself stood on a plot called the Peeneberg. The original Viking-age name is lost, which has led to speculation linking the place with the legendary Vineta or with Jomsborg.
