    Tips

    Beautiful route in the north of Lünigsberg
    "In the year 1833 peasants were released according to the Hannoversche separation order from the hand and tensioning services, the tithes and other payments in kind against the payment of a replacement.
    The then master of Schwöbber Castle, Otto von Münchhausen, demanded a transfer fee of 25 times the value of the annual services and fees in the form of 180 acres (450,000 square meters) of land adjacent to his estates.
    The Grupenhäger farmers finally agreed with Otto von Münchhausen on the granting of 119 acres of arable land and pasture as well as the payment of 3583 thalers, ten groschen and six pfennigs - the monetary value of 61 acres at that time.
    But only a few farmers could pay the transfer fee. Some financed the amount through land sales, and most had to borrow capital from credit institutions. Only ten farms remained interest-free at that time. The amicable implementation of the replacement is still reminiscent today of 1834 built Zehntablösungsdenkmal at Grupenhagen.
    "What you have from your fathers, get it to own it. What one does not benefit is a heavy burden, only the moment can be created, he can use, "reads the west-facing inscription of the monument, which at first glance looks like the ruins of an old field barn, but this has never been a barn The site was chosen because it was the former border between the lands of Schwöbber Castle and the village of Grupenhagen.
    With the exemption from the tithe donation, a 296-year commitment to the men at Schloss Schwöbber came to an end for the Grupenhäger farmers. The last tithing died in 1872 at the age of 97 years. Today, the Cultural and Heritage Association Grupenhagen maintains regularly the venerable walls among the centuries-old oaks "(Source: westliches-weserbergland.de/sagen-maerchen/das-zehntabloesungsdenkmal).

        Very interesting (thanks for the detailed description here!) And nice, sheltered rest area with a view.
