リュータウのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Lost place in modern German. Very interesting with the old photos from @JR56

Check the opening hours, but if you manage to do that, you'll be rewarded with a spritzer. A highly recommended option, especially on hot days.

The village of Basedow lies northeast of Lauenburg, sheltered on the slope of the high bank of the Elbe River, which bends northward, and thus in the glacial valley of the Delvenau River. It is documented as an existing village in the famous tithe register of the Bishop of Ratzeburg from 1230. The name indicates a Wendish settlement called "Basedowe," which translates as "book nest." Basedow belongs to the group of ancient settlements in the southern Sadelbande, where German settlement is assumed to have occurred around 1150 AD. However, finds from the Late Stone and Bronze Ages prove that the Basedow fields were settled much earlier. Due to its location on the Stecknitz Canal, which was opened in 1398 and can be described in modern parlance as the "wet salt road," and along which countless loads of salt were transported from Lüneburg to Lübeck over the centuries, Basedow has always had a certain connection to Hanseatic trade. https://www.basedow-sh.de/unser-dorf/historisches/

2025, the old bridge will soon be history

The war memorial in Lütau is located in a small, well-kept complex on a low wall with two plaques with the names of the 25 and 36 war dead from both world wars. In between there is a third plaque with a steel helmet and torch in relief and the inscription: Don't forget our dead http://www.denkmalprojekt.org/2022/luetau_krs-hzgt-lauenburg_wk1_wk2_sh.html

The entry in the tithe register of 1230 by Bishop Gottschalk of Ratzeburg (1229 - 1235) shows that the parish and the German village of Lütau already existed around 1230. However, there are indications that Lütau is much older. The original name (Lutowe) indicates that it was founded by a Slavic farmer who gave the settlement his name (or nickname). Lutowe or L'utov can be loosely translated as "place of L'ut" or "village of the wild man". But, to avoid misunderstandings, the name was given a long time ago. The community, which has around 700 inhabitants and covers 1100 hectares, is located in the southeast of Schleswig-Holstein on the federal highway 209 between Schwarzenbek and Lauenburg. Lütau is still very rural in structure, which will hopefully remain so for a long time. There are still 8 full-time agricultural businesses in Lütau. But crafts and trades are also represented here. The social and cultural life in the town is largely supported by the shooting and sports club and the volunteer fire brigade. There is also a skat club and several bowling clubs. The highlight of social life in Lütau is the folk and shooting festival, which is celebrated every year in September. Lütau is a very beautiful place, and its charming area with its farm and hiking trails invites you to take long walks. https://www.luetau.de/

The Lütau parish cemetery is located in the middle of the village, surrounded by 57 linden trees and a fieldstone cemetery wall that was renovated in 2008. The many large hereditary graves that have shaped the image of the cemetery for centuries are distinctive. Of the approximately 1250 grave spaces available, 825 are occupied. There are choice graves, lawn row graves and an area for anonymous burials. Special features of the Lütau cemetery are: - The church in the middle of the cemetery with a tower from the (13th century) - Benches on the cemetery grounds that invite you to linger and have conversations. - Manageability, individuality and the well-kept exterior. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7238559
