Former state border between the Kingdom of Hanover and the Duchy of Brunswick

Great section - wonderful to drive and great access to the nearby forest areas

The historic boundary stone marks the former state border between the Duchy of Braunschweig and the Kingdom of Hanover. An Ehmer family found the stone on their property and handed it over to the Home Care Association in 2014. In this way, it could be placed near its original location. A wonderful place to stay in the sun!Background:
After Napoleon was finally defeated at Waterloo, Europe's borders were rearranged at the Vienna Congress in 1814/15. The Kingdom of Hanover came into being with its border. In 1866 it rose in the Kingdom of Prussia. The Duchy of Braunschweig ended with the First World War in 1918.
