Guided Story
Take a look at the Bärendenkmal here in Mildensee. It commemorates the eastern expansion under Otto the Great, carried out by Margrave Gero. Interestingly, it was erected during the Third Reich. Its shape is modeled after the coat of arms of Anhalt and the Beringers. If you turn around, you might catch a glimpse of the Napoleonsturm, about 167 meters southeast. A quiet moment for reflection on the history this monument represents.
