Back from a business induced drive in rural Mecklenburg. No time for pics.
From the #archive instead:
#historyClose to the #medieval #trading #route between #Wismar and #Lübeck, on a part that today is a remote single track byroad, a merchant from Wismar was waylaid and murdered in the year 1391 AD. At the spot a #remembrance #stone was put up afterwards. If it was part of a sentence and fine imposed on the robbers or done by the family of the victim is unclear. The stone is still there.

@walfischbucht fascinating how a single stone can hold so much history, keeping a story alive from 1391.
