The shepherd's stone or corpse stone near Ührde
According to legend, a shepherd who had breakfast during a thunderstorm was "punished" by lightning struck him.
The belief to eat while lightning and thunder raged was against morality at the time and well into the 20th century. Death by lightning was seen as a just punishment from God.
