Memorials
- Nazi memorials in Rüben
About one kilometer north of Rüben on the B 244 is a war cemetery with a memorial and a cross. During the Second World War, 76 dead who died in forced labor camps in the area were buried here. Most of them are Soviet prisoners of war who performed forced labor at the Volkswagen plant in nearby Wolfsburg .
In the cemetery in Rüben a plaque commemorates the fate of around 100 Polish and Soviet babies who died in 1944 and 1945. They came from a children's or nursing home for infants and toddlers of foreign forced laborers who worked in industry in Wolfsburg and on farms were used. The home existed on the outskirts of today's B 244 between Rorien and the bridge of the Mittelland Canal . Most of the children died because of the inadequate hygienic conditions and poor care.
- Memorial for a victim of the inner-German border
At Kreisstrasse 85 between Zicherie and Kaiserwinkel there is a memorial that commemorates the Dortmund journalist Kurt Lichtenstein . He was shot at this point by the GDR border troops on October 12, 1961 when he wanted to talk to farm workers in GDR territory, and died shortly afterwards in a GDR hospital.
