Stone Arch Bridge The old postal or stone arch bridge at the foot of the Wallberg was built in the 18th century and is a listed technical monument. Traffic once traveled between Rostock and Wismar over this bridge. It was part of the postal road until the B105 highway and the Rostock-Wismar railway line were built in 1882. Today, the European Hiking Trail E9, the Hanseatic Way, and the Baltic-Westphalian Way of St. James share this section. Source: Information board of the municipality of Neuburg

The church's interior has now been beautifully restored and is open for viewing. A very beautiful altar and wonderful frescoes can be seen, among other things. The old cemetery surrounding the church has also been somewhat renovated. "A priest for Neuburg was documented in 1219. The building was built as a residential church in brick from 1220 to 1244. It is one of the oldest village churches in Mecklenburg. [...] Around 1266, thanks to a donation from Henry the Pilgrim, it received a share in the income from the town wine cellar in Wismar. [...] The mighty west tower, with an almost square floor plan, is as wide as the nave and was built at the end of the 14th century. [...] The remains of a 14th-century Last Supper depiction were uncovered on the south side of the choir. On the north wall of the nave, depictions of Christopher and George from around 1400 were found. On the east wall of the nave and in the clerestory, depictions of the apostles can be seen; they were painted in the second half of the 17th century. The painted wall hangings and the angels in the choir date from the same period." You can find the complete text here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Neuburg

The information board is barely legible. I also find the chronological and historical context dubious. In any case, there is a very old burial site here. A stone burial chamber that was covered with a large stone. All that remains is a small hill covered with pine trees. Two benches have been set up in front of it. The place is very quiet and beautifully situated on the edge of the forest.

"Fern Oak on the Gänsemarkt This is a rare, accidentally grown variety (mutation) of the native English oak (Ouercus ruhur). Its sinuous, slit leaves are typical. The occurrence of a fern oak was first documented in 1855 in southern Germany and in 1864 in France. It cannot be propagated by seed. Around 1920, a fern oak cutting was grafted onto the English oak at this location. The graft bulge is still visible. However, the origin of the cutting and who carried out the planting can no longer be determined." Source: Information board of the municipality of Neuburg

The impressive, mighty west tower with an almost square floor plan is almost as wide as the nave.
