Bismarck Stone

Bismarck Stone
Foundling recovered in the Pampower Feldmark The "Bismarckstein" is located near the center of Teterow, at the intersection of Malchiner Straße and Bahnhofstraße. It was originally found in the Pampow field and is a listed building. The front of the boulder has been polished from the ice, while parts of the back have been blasted off. It is four meters long, 2.80 m wide and has a volume of 9 cubic meters. The "Bismarckstein" - the front view is decorated with a relief of the former Imperial Chancellor - was determined to be coarse-grained granite gneiss. It is not one of the leading rocks and therefore cannot be determined in more detail. However, its size and the traces left by the glacier make this boulder worth seeing.

Bismarckstein on the Baltic Sea - a mighty boulder in Teterow

The Bismarckstein - an imposing boulder that was originally found in the Pampow field - is located near the center of Teterow, not far from the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast. The listed granite gneiss is four meters long, 2.80 meters wide and has a volume of nine cubic meters. The front side was polished by the glacier and shows a relief of the former Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, while parts of the back side have been blasted off at the top.

Glacial history - traces of the ice in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The Bismarckstein does not belong to the so-called "Leitgeschieben", which can be clearly assigned to a specific region of origin. Nevertheless, the coarse-grained granite gneiss tells an impressive story of the powerful forces of the Ice Age that shaped the entire coastal region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - from Rügen and Usedom to the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. Its size and the visible glacial traces alone make this boulder a worthwhile excursion destination in the region.
