The technical draftsman Erich Garske joined the KPD before 1933 and, after the National Socialists came to power , made drawings for the illegal magazine Der Friedenskäufer .
He also made his apartment in Berlin-Mitte available to members of the KPD together with his wife Charlotte Garske . There he, his wife and the editor of the magazine, Wilhelm Knöchel , were arrested by the Gestapo on January 30, 1943 . Erich Garske was sentenced to death by the People's Court in Berlin on November 9, 1943 and executed in Berlin-Plötzensee on December 13, 1943 - three days before his wife .
Memorial stone
In the Limsdorf district of the Brandenburg town of Storkow , a field stone commemorates the Garske couple. The stone is entered in the list of Storkow monuments . The stone was set up in 1944 by friends of the couple at the Springsee , where the Garskes often camped. Such an early resistance monument erected during the Nazi dictatorship is unique in Brandenburg. The simple boulder , around half a meter high, bears the simple inscription: In memory of Lotte and Erich Garske .
The stone is located around one hundred meters above the east bank of the Springsee on the northern edge of the "Naturcampingplatz am Springsee" and still on its site at the end of a small meadow / clearing that extends along the "Small Spring". The small trickle is one of the two rivers that are designated as "Large and Small Springsee Spring" as a natural monument . The location of the partly overgrown stone is characterized by a high pole that protrudes from the undergrowth with the white and blue monument plaque on top.
As part of an event in the Dahme-Heideseen nature park for the Open Monument Day on September 8, 2013, the memorial stone was exposed and restored.
