Köthen

On the grounds of Schloss Köthen there are two relocated stone cists next to a prehistoric collection in Ferdinandsbau. The 5,000 year old, as “Schortewitzer Rampenkiste” known megalithic site was originally northwest of Schortewitz in Saxony-Anhalt on the Fuhne on the Windmühlenberg, not far from the megalithic tomb Schortewitz. The stone cist of Plömnitz comes from Plömnitz and was excavated by the district conservator Walter Götze at the beginning of the 20th century and relocated here.
