After the Second World War , the Ohlendorf town council decided unanimously to erect a memorial stone “in memory of the lost homeland”.

Since the incorporation of Ohlendorf in 1974, today's town of Hemmingen has taken care of the monument.
description
A central component of the memorial is a large boulder that an Ohlendorf farmer transported from the heath on his tractor . Several small boulders were placed under the boulder and a small plantation was created around it. The large boulder bears the carved inscription
"We were one in love for our homeland and gave her everything."
This saying, chosen as an inscription, had already stood above the portal of the Roßleben monastery school .
