Opferstein von Quoltitz, Glacial erratic stone in Sagard, Germany
The Quoltitz sacrificial stone consists of pink-feldspar Karlshamn granite, measuring 4.8 meters long, 3.9 meters wide, and 2.8 meters high.
First documented in 1797 by Karl Nernst, this boulder became a subject of artistic interest when Caspar David Friedrich drew it in 1806.
The stone surface contains numerous small depressions measuring 5-6 centimeters in diameter, which locals refer to as cups or little bowls.
The monument stands at the edge of Jasmund National Park, north of Neddesitz village, within the boundaries of former Quoltitz settlement.
Archaeological findings near the stone include human bone remains, flint daggers, and amber beads, suggesting possible ancient ceremonial activities.
