Then the villages became Lauenburg again.

particularities

The Pogeez bathing area is of considerable regional - and also supra-regional - importance . Founded in 1953 and developed over decades with a lot of voluntary idealism and managed by the brothers Helmut and Horst Kömme, the Pogeez bathing facility is an important base of the German Life Saving Society (DLRG). In addition, the Pogeez bathing area is considered to be the most exemplary facility of its kind far beyond the boundaries of the Duchy of Lauenburg due to its pronounced child and family-friendly orientation.

These positive peculiarities were primarily the reason that the then German Federal President Karl Carstens stopped at the Pogeez bathing site on his much-noticed hike through the Federal Republic of Germany in 1979 at Lake Ratzeburg - not least because of the high socio-political importance at this point To emphasize and appreciate voluntary work as well as to point out the general importance of well-run local recreation facilities.

Transport and infrastructure

With the completion of the bypass in the course of the federal road 207 (B 207 n) in December 2014, the residential value along the old salt road was significantly increased.

Personalities

The CDU politician Meinhard Füllner (* 1941) was mayor of the community from 1972 to 1988.
