The grave slab of Georg Friedrich von Feuerschütz, who was born in the Thirty Years War , can be found on the von Harlingschen Gut in Feuerschützenbostel today . According to the heavily weathered inscription on the slab, which was hewn from Obernkirchen sandstone in the mid-1960s , the “noble, strong and highly learned youth born in 1627 [...] was righteous and devout in science and schools and at the famous Julia University [in Helmstedt ? ] was brought up. ”Even before the end of the war, von Feuerschütz is said to have slept“ gently in the Lord ”at the age of 20.
