What happened back then: The events to which the monument refers are historically documented: In the spring of 1686, rumors of witchcraft and sorcery circulated in the villages belonging to the Schmoel estate. The estate owner at the time, Count Christoph Rantzau, promptly had 15 men and women arrested and sentenced to death for harmful magic, as jurisdiction at that time lay with the landowners, to whom the peasants were subject. Although Pastor Linekogel of Giekau desperately tried to obtain a postponement of the executions, because many of the accused had recanted their confessions to him, Count Rantzau did not relent. Even when the accused explained that they had only confessed to everything to avoid torture, the estate owner remained relentless, and the condemned were first strangled and then burned at the stake. A more detailed account of the events can be found in the Schwartbuck village chronicle. To commemorate these horrific events, the Giekau artist Jan Koberstein, with the support of many helpers, created this impressive work of art between 2012 and 2018.

The furnishings largely date from the time of the church's reconstruction: the baptismal font, pulpit altar, and gallery are all original. The organ, dating from 1782, has been expanded several times, now boasts 21 stops across two manuals and pedal, and is an example of classic organ building in this region.

I highly recommend this small restaurant on the beach in Hohenfelde. The food is truly delicious, especially the two burgers, but the currywurst and fries with jalapeños are also excellent. https://fischerklause-hohenfelde.de/68/fischerklause
