Continuing along the path we just entered, we reach the end once we reach Field 13C, where a large birch awaits. Beneath its leafy canopy lies the grave of Carl Schöning. Born on November 19, 1855, in Parchim, Carl Schöning endured a difficult youth marked by hardship and struggle. Yet, it was his deep-rooted attachment to his homeland and his love for the Low German language that provided him with renewed vigor.

His father passed away when Carl was just four years old, leaving his mother to labor tirelessly at washing stations and other household chores to provide for her two children. After completing elementary school, Carl embarked on an apprenticeship as a bookbinder, but he found little joy in this trade and soon secured a position as a clerk in a law office. When clerk positions opened up at the post office in Schwerin, Carl seized the opportunity without hesitation. Fortunately, luck was on his side this time. The examination board emphasized that he was accepted solely due to his exceptionally neat handwriting. Carl Schöning was soon transferred to Berlin. However, he struggled to adapt to the bustling city life, yearning for his Mecklenburg homeland and, above all, his beloved Low German language. His sense of belonging was rekindled when he joined the Low German association Quickborn in Berlin. Before long, Carl Schöning became a sought-after reciter of Fritz Reuter's works, not only in his local community but also beyond. Therefore, it came as no surprise when he joined the Low German guild founded in 1911 upon his return to Schwerin. He remained an active member of the guild's wandering troupe, the "Feldflüchtern," until his final years. Carl Schöning also composed the well-known "Feldflüchter-Lied." He penned numerous poems, nearly all of which expressed his deep connection to Mecklenburg. Following his initial publications, including "Ut plattdüütschen Laan," in his later years, he published "Bi mi tohuus" in 1909. Carl Schöning met his future wife, Marie Schiller from Lübz, during a visit to his uncle in the neighboring town. The couple had two children, a son, and a daughter. Shortly after World War I, Carl Schöning passed the examination to become a senior secretary at the post office. He died on March 10, 1928, while en route to a reading of Fritz Reuter's works.
