Such stone monuments were primarily erected for someone who died at the site, either by family members or by the perpetrator of the murder, who had been obligated to do so by arbitration as part of a reconciliation agreement. Commonly, they are therefore also known as expiation stones or murder memorials. This stele, with its horseshoe-shaped headpiece made of Gotlandic limestone, was erected on the medieval trade route between Dassow and Lübeck. It is dedicated to Marquard Börzöw; little is known about the circumstances of his death here. On the front, the headpiece depicts a crucifix standing on a rise, beneath which kneels a male figure with a money pouch at his belt—presumably the person to whom this stone is dedicated. Above his hands is the prayer formula "miserere mei deus" (Miserable love for my God). The minuscule inscription translates as: "Pray to God for Marquard Börzöw, who died in the year 1398 on the feast day of Saint Clement (November 23)." tardkreis

A beautifully constructed bridge on the former railway embankment between Dassow and Schönberg. From here, you have a magnificent view of the Stepenitz and Maurine lowlands with their reed and moor landscape.

Lübeck's lively city center coincides with the medieval city center and is known for its courtyards, alleys, and squares lined with ornate gabled houses. Numerous sights include the 15th-century Holsten Gate, which houses a museum of the city's history, Gothic churches such as the towering St. Mary's Church, and the Holy Spirit Hospital, dating from 1286. Historic sailboats can be seen in the museum harbor. There are also small specialty shops and German restaurants in the surrounding area.
