Atonement Cross or Murder Stone from 1423

Translated by Google •

The murder stone from 1423 stands near the churchyard wall. It is a tall, rectangular stone with a Greek cross and Gothic minuscules. Medieval Atonement. Murder cheek made of Gotlandic shell limestone. In translation, the minuscule inscription reads: "In 1423, Hinamin von Ramin was killed by the farmers in Wartin." The legend tells that the nobleman Hinrik von Ramin raped a woman from Sommersdorf and was subsequently persecuted by farmers from the village. He tried to ask the church for asylum, but could not make it over the cemetery wall and was killed by the farmers. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommersdorf_(Penkun)

As early as 1800 it was noted that there was a large atonement stone "outside the cemetery" on the northeast side on Alleenstrasse (excerpts from the Gustower church chronicle of Pastor K. E. C. Piper / file folder / local files Rügen / KHM Stralsund).

It is the Mordwange made of Swedish limestone, 2.7 m high, 0.17 m thick and 0.61 m wide and 0.85 m wide at the top from the year 1510 (cf. Haselberg 1897, 298; Haas 1938). Ohle and Baier (1963, 260) erroneously name granite. Another similar murder cheek is in Schaprode. So there are two such memorial stones on Rügen.
