Passing by the small Gothic chapel, we continue our tour and, after a few steps, find ourselves in front of the gravestone of Adam Scharrer, adorned with a portrait medallion. Emerging from a rural milieu, Scharrer, as a wandering journeyman locksmith, traversed several countries in Europe. The second oldest of 17 siblings, he experienced a harsh and bleak youth. Born in the Bavarian village of Kleinschwarzenlohe on July 13, 1889, he felt no attachment to the village after completing his schooling and locksmith apprenticeship. Following his journeyman's examination, he traveled through Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, always in search of work.

Hopes and disappointments accompanied him, leading him to find himself after many detours.
Misunderstood by those close to him, the open road became Scharrer's home for many years. As a trained locksmith and metalworker, he worked in shipyards in Kiel and Hamburg, as well as in metalworking factories in the Ruhr area, absorbing the ideas of proletarian fighters. As a conscientious objector, he participated in the munitions worker strike in Berlin during World War I. Subsequently, Scharrer became a member of the Spartacus League and joined the Communist Party of Germany.

From an anarchist outsider position, Adam Scharrer began documenting his experiences, encounters, and disappointments in autobiographical novels. When the National Socialists seized power, they burned his books. The author found asylum in the Soviet Union. Following his novel "Vaterlandslose Gesellen" ("Stateless Comrades") from World War I, he produced works such as "Der Hirt von Rauhweiler" ("The Shepherd of Rauhweiler") and "In jungen Jahren" ("In Young Years"). On May 15, 1945, Adam Scharrer returned to Berlin with his wife. Just three weeks later, he arrived in Schwerin and founded the Cultural Association here. Driven by impatience, he sought to reshape cultural life in Mecklenburg. Experiences and new insights led him to partially revise his previously published writings. Additionally, new works took shape. Some remained unfinished, such as the novel "Der Mann mit der Kugel im Rücken" ("The Man with the Bullet in His Back"), as Adam Scharrer had only a short time left until his death. On March 2, 1948, a heated discussion between Ehm Welk and Adam Scharrer on poetry and literary criticism took place in the clubhouse of the Cultural Association, during which Scharrer became so agitated that he had to end the discussion and collapsed shortly afterwards outside the club room. Death occurred immediately.
