    Why is the Stemmer Berg also called "paradise"? It only has something to do with the paradisiacal Deister view, but... A long time ago there was a windmill up there, which is why the official name was "Windmühlenberg". In 1928 the windmill was destroyed by a storm and the area languished. Probably because of the beautiful view, the wealthy Mrs. Magda Lameyer (owner of a jewelry store on Georgstrasse in Hanover) bought the site in 1940 and built her second home there. She was already a widow. During the devastating air raid from October 8 to 9, 1943, she lost her city apartment and the jewelry store, moved to Stemmen and "grown flowers" on the mountain. Belgian and French prisoners of war (forced labourers), who were also assigned to work on the Mühlenberg with Mrs. Lameyer, are already staying in the village. "She apparently treats them well and even provides them with extra food. And when the prisoners are asked by people in the village where they actually work, they avoid the tongue twister 'windmill mountain' and simply answer: 'We work in paradise'." Since then, the citizens of Stemm have adopted this term in their language, and so you can find the "paradise" as an official field name in various maps. Can be read in "Hans Werner Dannowski, (former Hanoverian city superintendent / market church), Unterwegs im Calenberger Land, p. 192-194, Hanover 2009
