March 23, 2026, Alter Dragoner Restaurant

The restaurant "Alter Dragoner" is a well-known traditional establishment in Ludwigslust (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). It is characterized primarily by its rustic atmosphere and classic German cuisine. The restaurant appears very quaint and steeped in history. Fitting its name, the interior features decorations such as bridles and a large fireplace, which provides a cozy ambiance, especially in winter.

The Stepenitz is a beautiful river that meanders through the beautiful landscape of the Prignitz. You can even watch salmon, as attempts have been made to reintroduce the fish here since 2000.

Especially since the Second World War, the preservation of this church is thanks to the great willingness of the Perleberg parish to make sacrifices. Over these decades, they have repeatedly made an invaluable contribution to this church through work and fundraising campaigns; even old Perleberg residents who now live elsewhere have played their part in ensuring that the church is so well preserved.

Council minutes of the town of Perleberg from 1498 contain the earliest reference to the existence of a Roland in the town. It is not identical to the Roland statue that stands today. The Roland from 1498, probably made of wood, has been lost. There is still no clear statement about when exactly the new Perleberg Roland was built from stone.
