    Gustav II Adolf (* December 9th / December 19, 1594 in Stockholm; † July 6 / November 16, 1632 in Lützen, Electorate of Saxony) from the House of Wasa was from 1611 to 1632 king of Sweden and one of the most important figures in Swedish history and the Thirty Years War. Through reforms and his military-political action, he made a significant contribution to giving Sweden a hegemonic position in northern Europe, which existed until the beginning of the 18th century. His intervention in the Thirty Years' War in Germany, motivated to assert this hegemonic position, prevented a victory for the imperial-Catholic camp of the Habsburgs and thus also secured the existence of German Protestantism.

      The Gustav Adolf Memorial commemorates the Battle of Breitenfeld on 17 September 1631. 200 years after the Battle of Breitenfeld this memorial stone was erected.
      About 5 km from here is the historic road station in Möckern. About 9 km away is Lake Schladitzer (bike path towards Hayna). In the neighboring village Lindenthal there is an eco-bath.
