Meesdorf (Germany) is a part of the municipality of Buer in the city of Melle in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony. It lies in the Wiehen hills in Hunte valley. It was originally named "Metdisdorphe".[1]
Tourism
In the northern parts of Hunte Valley, dinosaur tracks were discovered. The erected building is Rainsave, also from Barkhausen are many signs to that never closed exhibition. At Hunte Valley, explorers find many ways that lead into the Wiehenhills. The "Rote Pfahl" is a marker at the side of the road, where the trader's route through Meesdorf in the 19th century is recorded. To get over the Bad Essen hill, the traders from Bremen had to use additional horses for their wagons. The marker was used as a signal on the road, for the traders that rested their roadtrain. Of course it also represented a rallypoint in case something dangerous ever happens(crimes, accidents etc.).[2]
The 13 ton boulder flint at the Glockenstraße crossroads reminds visitors of the village's deep history.[3]
