The village of Kirch-Jesar is more than 700 years old; the name Jesar is likely derived from Slavic and means "lake." As early as the 14th century, a chapel stood in Kirch-Jesar, which presumably fell into disrepair after the Thirty Years' War. In 1717, the Duke of Mecklenburg's court marshal, Johann Christoph von Halberstadt, had the new church built in a simple style. The wood-clad tower with its slate roof was not added until 1847, as was the interior. A few years later, a bell from a workshop in Wismar was added. In 1881, the church received an organ by master organ builder Johann Heinrich Runge. The gallery had to be specially lowered to accommodate the instrument. Around 1913, the painter Willi Schomann, originally from Parchim, created the mural "The Last Judgment" on the choir wall. The church is Protestant and belongs to the Kirch-Jesar parish.

This ruined bridge is located on Lindenstrasse south of the A24 north of the city of Hagenow between the Viez district and the Gammelin district of Bakendorf. It dates from the 1930s and was intended to lead the connecting road over the originally planned course of the Hamburg-Berlin Reichsautobahn. The A 24 motorway, completed in 1982, runs in a northern arc around the former route planning, which can still be seen on aerial photographs. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagenow
