Make something of it yourself?!

The view of the former border crossing at Dreilinden evokes memories of the division of Germany.

The Medusa Gate, the entrance to the estate, was built in 1686 and already exudes the charm of the Renaissance. The focus was on antiquity, whose revival gave the era its name. On the Medusa Gate, one sees ancient figures, as the name suggests. The gate depicts the head of the goddess Minerva, symbolically seated on the head of Medusa. Minerva was the Roman goddess of defensive warfare and wisdom. Her Greek counterpart was the goddess Athena. Medusa, too, has Greek roots. She was a Gorgon whose beauty was legendary. She was a virgin in the service of the goddess Athena, who pleased the sea god Poseidon. One day, the sea god raped this beauty. Nevertheless, Athena, in whose service Medusa served, was so enraged by her presence in her temple that she transformed her into a monster. Athena's curse turned anyone who dared to look into her eyes to stone. Eventually, Perseus would behead her and use her head as a weapon against his adversaries. The fact that Minerva, as the goddess of wisdom and defense, stands above the monster presumably symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. The people of Kleinmachnow were unfamiliar with these details. They saw the figures as a nobleman from Hake. The former owner, who was said to be heartless, could be seen at the gate. According to Fontane, the snake hair was interpreted as meaning that this gentleman from Hake had been eaten by snakes.

Between 1961 and 1989, a total of 136 people were killed at the Berlin Wall because they wanted to live in freedom. A cruel period of inner-German division with the Iron Curtain separating West and East.

Beautiful little church. Unfortunately, we couldn't get in.
