The Pommertstein, a possibly. Atonement stone is located south of Herrnburg in the forest on the right of the road to Schattin, the medieval pilgrimage route from Lübeck to Wilsnack. It is made of Gotland limestone and worked as a relief on the side facing the street. The picture shows a crucifixion scene. Under the cross on the left, Hinrich Pomert, who died while traveling on August 17, 1466, portrayed as a traveler or pilgrim through the travel bag. Next to it, in the vestments of a dean, presumably his son, the Hamburg cathedral dean Pomert, who, according to the inscription, donated the plaque for his father, who died here. The details of the death have not been passed down, not even through local sagas. (Excerpts from Wikipedia)
