The estate, including the school building for the surrounding villages, stood here. In 1963, the entire area was demolished during the "Verziefer" (pesticide) campaign, and all the buildings were destroyed because it was considered too close to the border by the GDR regime.

If you want to know more about the museum and the horrendous events surrounding the "execution" of Michael Gartenschläger during the GDR era for dismantling automatic shooting devices, you can find them in my book https://shop.tredition.com/booktitle/Zwei_R%3fder_ein_Land/W-1_136034, on the cover of which I can be seen in front of the museum.

The large, free parking lot at the Blue Lagoon is a good starting point for all kinds of tours in the area. After the tour ends, you can also fortify yourself with food and drink in the Blue Lagoon in the warmer seasons.

The Diebsradenweg leads along the western bank of the Prüßsee. It's easy to hike here and you'll also pass the "Seeburger Schlüs" and the "Deewrad". There is also one of the few public lake accesses here, but you have to go down the embankment to access it. Most of the properties here are privately owned and the lake is not accessible. Otherwise the lake shore is relatively overgrown and unfortunately you only have good views of the lake from a few places.
