"25.12.1989 - 1st Day of Christmas. Wittenberg is in great, joyous expectation! A ship, namely the 'Lüneburger Heide', is to come with citizens from the neighbouring towns on the border of the river Elbe, across from Lütkenwisch, which resides on the local bank of the river: Schnackenburg, Gartow, Lüchow and Dannenberg." (translated from Horst und Ralf Podiebrad: DDR/D Wittenberge. Band 3, S. 132)
