Friedrichsru is located in the depths of the forest, called "Saxon Forest" ( German Sachsenwald ). The eponymous small and inconspicuous station-station on the high-speed railway Hamburg-Berlin.
The settlement was founded in 1763 by Count Friedrich Carl Augustus zu Lippe as a hunting estate. In our time, the village of Friedrichsru is a little more than three dozen houses.
After the war with France in 1871, the settlement was transferred as a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm Otto von Bismarck . Prior to that, the Saxon forest belonged personally to the Kaiser, as part of his possessions in the duchy of Lauenburg . The tavern located at the railway was rebuilt into the residence of the Chancellor, the descendants of Prince von Bismarck still live in this residence
