Content of the inscription: Magleby Nor on Langeland is the island's largest enclosed area. In the mid-19th century, the need for new farmland grew in Denmark, and the Magleby schoolteacher Christian Harboe pushed through the idea of draining the shallow coastal waters in 1853, against resistance. Dikes and drainage systems were built, but a severe storm surge in 1872 destroyed the dike and flooded the area again. Only in 1943 was a permanent securing achieved through deeper ditches and modern pumps. Today, the landscape is a reminder of how strongly Langeland has been shaped by land reclamation.
