Groß Gievitz Water Feature

Highlight • Monument

The settlement likely originated in the 13th century through Westphalian farmers and knights in an area originally settled by Slavs called Schlön. The name derives from the Old Slavic word "gvoru" (water bubble) and roughly translates to "village by the lake." Groß Gievitz was first documented in 1316 in a land division agreement between Princes Johann II and Henning von Werle.

Stone Lion of Schloen

Highlight • Monument

In the village of Schloen, proud and fine,
Stands a stone lion so pure.
He watches over the property here,
A silent sentinel, loyal and graceful.

With a mighty gaze, so serious and clear,
He guards the land, year after year.
Its masonry is old and heavy,
Yet his presence is so strong.

The stone lion, in the sunlight,
He shines in his quiet face.
A symbol of courage and strength,
The village preserves what he has created.

So he stands there, in the heart of the town,
The stone lion, loyal and dull.
A sentinel who keeps the peace,
In the village of Schloen, firm and tender.
