History


After the victory over France, Otto von Bismarck was awarded the Sachsenwald. He ordered to turn an inn near the Hamburg-Berlin railway line into a manor and called it Friedrichsruh. Some of his descendants still live there. Bismarck was entombed in a mausoleum on the Schneckenberg, just outside of Friederichsruh, on March 16, 1899. In World War II Friedrichsruh was the headquarter of the White Buses.
