    The stone reads: "HELLWEG / SOTHKUHLE / DROHEIM / HORNAN SANDEBECK / BANGERN ELSCHENBERG / BASSBROK / SKIDRIOBURG / IN MEMORIAM / DROHEIM / UM 850 IN / CORVEYER TRAD. / NAMED"

      The stone is reminiscent of the Hellweg that runs here. The Hellweg was a 7,000-year-old long-distance trade route from the Rhine to the Elbe. It ran from Duisburg via Paderborn to Corvey. From here the trade route led over the Harz to the Elbe.
      In this region, stones and signs repeatedly remind us of the historical course of the Hellweg. For the most part, it still shapes the course of the streets today. It's not for nothing that the A40 or B1 are so straight.
