STONE
A stone with an inscription made in ornamental gothic, unredable, in the upper part the rhythm of a Maltese cross surrounded by twigs (probably a laurel). Without being able to read the inscription it is impossible to determine the circumstances for which the boulder was placed in the vicinity of an oak tree, however, it is known that the iron (Maltese) cross was the first award in Germany granted for merits on the battlefield and for commendable successes regardless of social origin or military rank. The originator and designer of the medal was King Frederick William III of Prussia in 1813. It has been functioning in Germany (with breaks and modifications) for over 200 years.
In 1814 honoured with the medal for his participation in the anti-Poleonic campaign was 17-year-old officer Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig von Preuβen. Later he became the King of Prussia and Emperor of the Second Reich Wilhelm I, whose name (probably) appears on the stone. The presumption also applies to the outline of the date, i.e. 1867, which can be combined with the assumption of the dignity of President of the North German Union by the aforementioned Wilhelm.
The park around the oak and the memorial stone was established by the Germans in the interwar period and is now modernised and enriched with new infrastructure, serving as a meeting and recreation place for the residendts.
