Barrel Anchor Stone
A gift from regional researcher Rainer Leive, Basdahl
Heavy natural stones, into which holes were painstakingly punched to accommodate chains, have been used as ground anchors for the fairway buoys since the beginning of Elbe navigation.
Many Anchor Stones went through chain breaks over time, barrel theft
or exposure to drift ice.
In order to prevent losses due to sinking into the ground, these were lifted at regular intervals and repositioned according to the fairway bearings.
For the state tasks to secure the fairway, "ton and beacon money" was charged from every skipper.
