Der Alte SchwedeIn October 1999 a very large boulder was pulled out of the Elbe river - it had been transported to the Hamburg area by glaciers during the Elster glaciation. The weight is 217 ton and by examining the composition of the boulder its origin has been found to be Småland in Sverige. So its now being called "Der Alte Schwede".
