Runestone from Rogäsen
The rune stone of Rogäsen is a rune stone or an inscription stone that was found in the 19th century in Rogäsen , which has belonged to the municipality of Rosenau in the west of Brandenburg since 2001 . The stone is in the Jerichower Land district museum in Genthin in Saxony-Anhalt .
history
On August 21, 1851, there was a fire in Rogäsen in which the schoolhouse, a thatched half-timbered house , burned down. During clearing and reconstruction work a few months later, a large stone was discovered on the boundary of the old school's property, which was intended to be incorporated into the foundation of the new building. The stone was blown up to use the fragments. When clearing the pieces, however, rune-like characters were discovered on the flattened back that was previously in the ground . After the pieces of stone have been put together, it has a height of 1.14 meters and a width of 0.86 meters. It was first visibly incorporated into the ramp to the Rogäsen manor .
The characters are carved into the field stone in two lines and in an arc shape. Due to the weather-related endangerment of the stone, the landlord Richard Graf von Wartensleben bequeathed it to the Jerichower Land district museum in Genthin in 1928. There it was set up in the front yard under a roof structure.
The Rogäsen rune stone is the only one of its kind in northern Germany. So far it has not been possible to decipher the presumed inscription and to date the stone.
