“A stone dedicated to a ‘Heidefreund’? What does that even mean?” you might ask yourself, scratching your head. Well, you’re standing right before the Krausestein, a memorial as unique as its inscription. It’s dedicated to Ludwig Krause, a man who deeply loved and passionately researched the ‘Heide’, the sprawling heathlands that once dominated this region. The Krausestein isn’t just a stone. It’s a tribute to a man and a way of life deeply intertwined with the very landscape of Rostock. While the bustling city has sprawled around it, the Krausestein stands as a silent sentinel. It reminds us of the natural world that existed before and still persists in the hearts of those like Krause, the “Heidefreund”.
