The "Moisburger Stein" (Engl.:"Moisburg Stone" or "Stone of Moisburg") was set in 1754 to mark the southern end of a forest boundary between the state forest of the then Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg (ruled by King George II of Great Britain in his capacity as hereditary Prince-Elector (German: Kurfürst) of Hanover), and the common forest accessible to local farmers (German: Bauernwald). It bears the monogram of George II ("GR II"), the number 65 ("No. LXV" - it was the last of 65 stones set along the eastern boundary of the state forest), the date 1750 ("ANNO MDCCL"), the year in which this boundary was originally established and the "Wolfsangel" symbol. On the reverse side is the text "Amt Moisburg". The stone can be found in the woods near Neugraben (Hamburg), Germany. This stone also marks the end of the western boundary of the state forest, which originally comprised 87 other stones, many of which are extant.
