The historic Dülwald (Dühlwald, Dühlholz) was until the end of the Middle Ages, a sparsely populated jungle south of the Steinhuder Sea.

Until the 13th century, a dense marshy riparian forest covered the area, which is drained by the Sachsenhäger Aue, the Rodenberger Aue and numerous streams. On its southern side was an old trade route (Hellweg) between the Rhine and the Elbe, whose course follows today's federal highway 65. Early history finds evidence of early settlement of this region. In the 5th century, the Saxons invaded the area of the northernmost low mountain range. The Dülwald was preserved as a large border forest between several Gauen until the beginning of the clearing in the 13th century.

The Dülwald was gradually cleared. With the number of settlements, the demand for farmland increased. Today's Dülwald is only about 580 acres and is located between Sachsenhagen and the places Lindhorst and Ottensen (district of Lindhorst) in Schaumburg.

It is crossed in the northern third of the Mittelland Canal. In hiking maps the rest of the forest area is called the age part. In a broader sense, however, the Dülwald continues to exist in other isolated but partly even today fairly large forest areas. For example, the 4,000 hectare Schaumburg Forest is a remnant of the Dülwald.

Inscription of the stone:

"Taken here

on the 3rd of August, 1880

Oberland forester

from Hagen

the last roebuck

in his life."

Otto Friedrich von Hagen (born February 15, 1817 in Ilsenburg, † September 10, 1880 in Berlin) was a German forestry man.

Von Hagen was the first to demand that "the forest should not only be economic capital and wood-litter, but also serve the common good."
