The megalithic tomb Hagen-Stubnitz 2 is located about 300m west of Hagen-Stubnitz 1 (about 60m north of the path). Only the mound fill, as well as some larger stones of the enclosure, and two larger stones, presumably capstones, are preserved from the tomb.

Hagen-Stubnitz 1 (aka Pfenninggrab) is a grand dolmen with an east-west oriented chamber with three supporting stones on each of the long sides. The western capstone is also present. A capstone lies next to the grave. The chamber measures about 3.50 x 1.70 metres.

The tomb lies about 1 km north-east of the Stubbenkammer (Königsstuhl) visitor centre car park in Hagen. But it is much easier to find it if you walk from the visitor centre back to the car park. After the Herthaburg, a rampart castle from the time of the Slavic settlement of Rügen from the 8th to the 12th century, you’ll pass the Herthasee. After about 80 m there is a fork with a path leading in a north-western direction (straight on is the way back to the car park). Take this path to the right which leads in about 800 m directly to the tomb.

Lonvitz 1 is probably a grand dolmen, a mound fill can no longer be detected. The burial chamber is oriented north-east-south-west and is partly well preserved. The north-eastern end, however, was destroyed during the construction of the railway line. The chamber is 2.20 m wide and 0.80 m high. Four wall stones have survived on the north-western long side. The north-easternmost one is inclined towards the interior of the chamber, the other three are still in situ. On the south-eastern long side there are still three wall stones. The north-eastern and the central one are inclined outwards, but the third one is still in situ, as is the south-western end stone. Three capstones are still preserved, but two of them have fallen into the interior of the chamber. The most south-westerly one, however, is still in its original position. With a length of 3.10 m, a width of 1.80 m and a thickness of 1.10 m, it is the largest of the three capstones.

To get to the tomb, it is best to park in the large car park in Lauterbach. Cross the railway line and take the small path on the right with the sign to the tomb between the houses and the railway line to the north. This leads directly along the edge of the fields and the railway line on the right hand side in about 500 m to the grave.

Lonvitz 2 is a trapezoidal, north-south oriented long barrow with a length of about 28 m and a width of 8 m in the south and 6 m in the north. Of the enclosure, 13 stones are preserved on the eastern long side, five on the western long side and one on the southern narrow side. The burial chamber is located at the southern end. It is oriented northwest-southeast and thus slanted towards the enclosure. It is 3.50 m long and 1.80 m wide. The stones are still very deep in the ground. Three wall stones are still in situ on the north-eastern long side. On the south-western long side, two wall stones are in situ, but the middle one is missing. The northwestern endstone is also still in its original position, but the southeastern one has tipped over into the interior of the chamber. The northwestern capstone is almost in situ. The second capstone lies displaced a little to the south-east of the long barrow. It is 3.00 m long, 2.70 m wide and 1.40 m thick. It has at least five cup marks on its upper side.

The megalithic tomb is located directly north of the L29 road from Putbus to Vilmnitz, directly west of the turnoff to Posewald and Zirkow.

The megalithic tombs near Lonvitz are two graves of the Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture in the vicinity of Lonvitz, a district of the municipality of Putbus in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). A third grave was destroyed in the 19th century.
