The well-known Moorkolonisator Jürgen Christian Findorff (1720-1792) is here a monument dedicated. Because it is quite hidden in the forest, it can be found without help. Thanks komoot is now reliable.

From the parking lot it goes steeply up to the hill. Above is the memorial stone to Findorff, who was especially strong for the peat boatmen.

Jürgen Christian Findorff (born February 22, 1720 in Lauenburg / Elbe, † July 31, 1792 in Bremervörde, buried on August 3, 1792 in Iselersheim in Bremervörde) has become known as Moorkolonisator. He has measured the moors between Wümme and Hamme, the Teufelsmoor northeast of Bremen, drained and populated by colonists. Through his commitment to the colonists he got the nickname "father of all moor peasants".
