The memorial stone in Ivenack commemorates the events surrounding May 1, 1945. It commemorates Albrecht Freiherr von Maltzahn, Count von Plessen, his wife Magdalena, née Countess von Waldersee, and their nanny Emma Fuchs, who committed suicide on May 2, 1945 (not on May 1). This happened in the Rehgarten forest after severe mistreatment by Soviet soldiers, shortly after the invasion of the Red Army. It also commemorates a total of 29 people, mostly women and children, who took their lives around May 1, 1945, many of them in Lake Ivenack, out of fear of attacks by the occupying forces.
