The water is knee-deep, and the bottom is very soft. There are also potholes in the riverbed, which is treacherous because the water is murky.

On May 1, 1933, a Hitler oak was planted, a time capsule containing a document written by Hans Friedrich Blunck was placed in the roots and a memorial stone was set.[3] This ensemble was surrounded by iron chains. The memorial was located in the Schaar district, which is now covered by the village street. Immediately after the end of the Second World War, the tree was "cut down" at the instigation of Otto Zerrath (municipal council member and local SPD chairman). The memorial stone was buried at its original location. During construction work in connection with the redesign of the village street in 1960, the stone was dug up again and brought to private property in Schönweide. There it served again as a memorial stone/gathering point for celebrations for "Führer's birthday". After the property was sold, its whereabouts are unknown.

The renaming of Greben to Grebin in 1946 Edit On January 16, 1946, the Grebin community representatives[4] asked the district administrator to reverse the renaming that had taken place against the will of the community. This was done by decree of the state government on August 1, 1946.

The Icelandic horse, also known as the Icelandic pony, is a versatile and robust breed of horse or small horse originating from Iceland, which can also be ridden by adults thanks to its strong physique. Icelandic horses are gaited horses, as they not only have the basic gaits of walk, trot and gallop, but also the genetically fixed gait of tölt.[2] Many of them also have the gait of pass. Only purebred animals, without any foreign blood, whose lineage can be traced back to Iceland without gaps, are recognized as "Icelandic horses". The import of horses into Iceland is prohibited to avoid disease. Therefore, horses that were born in Iceland and have left the island at some point cannot/may not be brought back to Iceland.
