Memorial stone on the war quota

The war quota is a memorial to the memory of a battle of the Thirty Years War in the Landkirchen district of the city of Fehmarn , Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein .

It is a pond surrounded by trees - on the island of Fehmarn the term Soll refers to a pond - in the Feldmark not far from Landkirchen with a boulder , on which the coat of arms of the island of Fehmarn, which has been in use since 1580, and an inscription in Low German in Sütterlin script below is chiseled:

June 29, 1644
Sound commemorating foln Fehmarans
(In memory of fallen Fehmarans)

The inscription refers to a battle on June 29, 1644. On this day, Swedish troops landed on Fehmarn, which then belonged to Denmark, near Puttgarden, and met a Fehmarn regiment supported by Danish soldiers. In the ensuing battle, 75 residents of Fehmarn were killed, including the standard-bearer Marens Tiedemann from Neujellingsdorf, who was sometimes also called Joan of Arc of Fehmarn.

The Kriegssoll Memorial is located about 1 km northeast of Landkirchen, a little south of the road to Ostermarkelsdorf. It can also be reached from Landstrasse 209 between Landkirchen and Burg auf Fehmarn via a signposted footpath. The route of the disused Fehmarn island railway runs not far south of the Kriegssoll Memorial .

Another Soll on Fehmarn that is worth visiting is the somewhat smaller Councilsoll near Petersdorf .
