the cattle were 2 to 3 years old at the time of their sacrifice.

Poor bovines. They had years more of life to enjoy.

The wheel was discovered in Iraq, 6000 years ago. If Germans had wheels at the same date, it would be a major discovery. All history would had to be rewritten, and it would be a major mystery why Germans lost the wheel.

This article looks like a broken telephone. Something was lost in translation.

From the article:

'chariot grave' has been uncovered. This type of Neolithic burial is characterized by a person being buried in front of a cart and the towing animals "creating the image of a cart with a driver or a plow pulled by cattle."

So basically the general term is "chariot grave", but it can include a chariot or a plow, or presumably other things (sleds?) pulled by animals. Wheels are not always required.

From Wikipedia there is evidence of (animal pulled) plowing almost as far back as 6000 years ago in this general region, and reason to believe it could have existed as early as 8000 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plough#Ard
