The Bötzow Local History Association is working with the Meilensteine e.V. research group to research and document the “Old Berlin-Hamburg Postal Route” around 1800. This includes creating a map showing the course of the postal route and the historical locations of the milestones along it. Whole-mile, half-mile and quarter-milestones have been set up along the route.

There is a whole-milestone (four miles to Berlin) at the Ziegenkrug (former post office).

The "Old Hamburg Post Road" from Berlin (Oranienburger Tor) to Hamburg (Prussian Post Office), which was created in 1654 at the behest of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm on the old pilgrimage route from Berlin to "Wunderblut Wilsnak", ran from Berlin, via Hennigsdorf , Bötzow, via the Krämer, Flatow, Linum, Fehrbellin, Wusterhausen / Dosse, Kyritz, Perleberg, Nebelin, Lenzen to Hamburg. From September 1656 the traveling post office operated between Berlin and Hamburg. In the whole course of this post road of a total of 38 miles from Berlin to Hamburg run on Prussian territory 23 miles. In Lenzen, on the market square, the milestone restored in 2004 and rebuilt at the original location with the position "22 miles to Berlin" stands. As the postal rate from Berlin to Hamburg in Lenzen merges with the postal rate of Magdeburg, this milestone also marks the position "18 miles to Magdeburg". The course of the "Old Hamburg Post Road" on Prussian territory is identical in hardly a section with today important traffic connections. This route was finally abandoned in 1830, after the "Neue Hamburger Chaussee", today's B 5, was completed. [Source: Wikipedia]
