Interesting opportunity to learn more about the history of boulders and fieldstones and how they are processed.

The Ruhlsdorf village church is a 13th-century religious building in the district of the same name in the town of Teltow in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district.

The village church in Hohenstein is a medieval church made of granite masonry with white joints. The tower has been missing since the Thirty Years' War. The church was renovated in 1709 and 1724, and its interior was completely remodeled in 1868/69. In 1909, the wooden ceilings in the nave and chancel were decorated with a coffered motif by the church painter Wolter from Berlin. The walls feature funeral crowns, an old local custom in Oberbarnim. The bell dates from 1707.

The church is situated on a hill and can be seen from all directions. The simple rectangular building with unequal sides probably dates back to the 15th century. It is constructed largely of fieldstone and brick fragments, while remnants of the old cemetery walls have been preserved. A comprehensive renovation took place in 1707. A brick west tower was added, and the nave itself was converted into a Baroque plastered structure. The severe damage sustained in 1945 was repaired in 1950.

Together with the cairns, the landscape is reminiscent of Scandinavia.

The Ruhlsdorfer See is located south of the village of Ruhlsdorf (near Strausberg) in the approx. 165 hectare FFH area "Ruhlsdorfer Bruch" and feeds the Lichtenower Mühlenfiß. The lake is not bathing water and can only be reached from the south or by visiting the Findlingshof Strausberg.

One man (almost) alone designed this pearl over decades with hard work and ensures that unique nature is preserved. Orchids bloom here in early summer - and not just them. Thanks for this commitment. And thanks also to NABU, without whom this would not be possible.
