Willibald Alexis Memorial Stone

Highlight • Monument

This memorial stone was created out of gratitude for a man who was one of the first to praise the beauty and uniqueness of the Mark landscape in his works, which until then had been considered a sandy desert.

On Sunday, May 17th, 1914, the time had come. The dedication of the Willibald Alexis memorial stone was completed. A parade from the "Hotel zur Post", which served as the festival venue, started at 3.30 p.m. in glorious weather. It was a procession with about 250 people from Lehnin and hiking friends, accompanied by a music band. Eugen Kitzler, the publisher of the magazine "Die Mark" held the dedication speech to thunderous applause. Music groups and hiking clubs provided the artistic framework for the programme. Afterwards, the people of the procession visited the old monasteries before returning to the festival hall, where there were also other performances.

The memorial stone has survived for a hundred years and still stands in the same place. Many hikers know the stone, but have never really got to know the reason for its existence. Perhaps one or the other reader will now pick up a book by Alexis himself to understand what drove him to travel to the Mark Brandenburg back then.

Old Linden Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

Old cemetery in Lindenstrasse. Funerals were held here from 1840 to the 1970s. With the exception of a few old graves, the area has now been cleared. In the middle of the area there is still the old brick morgue / mourning hall, which is now rented to a local funeral home and is still used for cooling purposes.

Since 1960, the forest cemetery has increasingly replaced the linden cemetery as a burial place.

At the moment, a conversion into a natural park is being considered.

August 4, 2025,Wanderung durch das Emster Quellgebiet über Luchgraben und Kloster Lehnin

This evening, another strenuous hike along new trails through the nearby Emster headwaters and the Lehniner Mittelheide (Lehnin Heath). A detour to the monastery complex under the low sun was a must... 🥾🥾
