The monument "Broken Millstone" in Bützow is a memorial commemorating the victims of the communist dictatorship (SBZ/DDR) in the Bützow prisons between 1945 and 1989.
The sculpture symbolizes the resistance against the SED regime. The artist's message is essentially: the millstones of a dictatorial system could break the individual, but not the resistance – the millstones themselves break.
