These are abandoned explosives bunkers from the Cold War era. Each one could contain up to 5 tons of explosives, secured behind three to four armored doors. These depots were unguarded but regularly checked. The military strategy at the time was to delay the advance of an invading enemy as effectively as possible. The most common barriers were blast shafts, which were sunk into strategically important roads and bridges during construction. The initially empty shafts could be quickly filled with explosives from such nearby depot bunkers. This meant that the road or bridge could be blown up and rendered impassable "if necessary." Until the 1990s, there were around 6,000 such barriers throughout West Germany. Since then, these barriers have been abandoned and, in many places, dismantled.

From the bench, the view sweeps across a flat meadow where the "Oberteich" once stood. It was drained around 1840. It was one of over 60 fish ponds created by the Cistercian monks of the former Reinfeld Monastery in the 12th century.

Great view of Lübeck

Beautiful biotope

Beautiful, protected place for the bats...

The Struckteich has only existed in its current form for about 25 years. For decades, attempts were made to drain this area and convert it into arable land. It was not until 1997 that the decision was made to dam the Holstenbek again and convert it into this beautiful biotope.

Largely forgotten after the end of the Cold War, shelters have been on everyone's lips again since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There are no such public shelters in Stormarn today. What has become of the bunkers in the district? Once a storage place for ammunition, now home to bats 🦇🦇🦇

The large stone graves near Reinfeld were originally two megalithic grave complexes from the Neolithic Funnel Beaker culture near Reinfeld. The preserved grave bears the Sprockhoff number 286 and the site number Reinfeld LA 3. It was archaeologically examined by Friedrich Knorr in 1919 and again in 1936 by Fritz Tischler. A restoration then took place. The destroyed grave has the site number Reinfeld LA 14. The grave is located north of Reinfeld on the edge of a forest. It stands on a hilltop and can be reached via a path. The complex has an east-west oriented burial chamber. The length is 5.5 m outside and 3.8 m inside, the width is 2.5 m outside and 1.2 m inside. During the excavations, four wall stones were found on the northern long side and two on the southern long side, as well as one end stone on each of the narrow sides. Three capstones had fallen inside the chamber. They were placed back on the wall stones during the restoration. To the east of the chamber there were two stones that could not be assigned with certainty. The spaces between the wall stones were originally filled with dry masonry made of split stones. Tischler was still able to find remnants of this between the two easternmost stones on the north side. The chamber plaster consisted of two layers. There was initially a layer of stone slabs on the natural ground. A few pieces of burned flint were found between the floor and the stone slabs. Above this was a layer of loamy sand about 30 cm thick, some of which was interspersed with split stones. This was followed by a 40 cm thick backfill of humus soil. It is unclear where the original entrance to the chamber was. Therefore, the exact type of grave cannot be determined with certainty. Due to the size of the chamber and the number of wall stones, it must have been either a large dolmen or a passage grave. No burial remains or grave goods were found during the excavations. Apparently two ceramic vessels were recovered sometime before 1921 and taken to the Museum of Patriotic Antiquities in Kiel. However, corresponding file notes are missing. According to a legend, grave LA 3 was the dwelling of a giant. One day he went to Nütschau and was killed by another giant. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fsteingr%C3%A4ber_bei_Reinfeld
