Den Mystiske Sten på Ulfeldts Plads
På dette billede - i øvrigt Danmarks første kendte fotografi, ser du skamstøtten, der blev rejst over Chr. 4's rigshofmester, Corfitz Ulfeld. Corfitz blev i 1636 gift med Leonora Christina, der var datter af Chr. 4.
Corfits Ulfeldt var søn af rigskansler Jakob Ulfeldt, og fik en solid uddannelse ved udenlandske universiteter, hoffer og hære. Det indgående kendskab til europæiske sprog og dannelse prægede ham for livet og bidrog til hans meget store tillid til egne kvaliteter og evner.
Hjemkommet til Danmark i 1629 blev den unge verdensmand tilknyttet hoffet og året efter trolovet med Christian 4.s datter Leonora Christina. Fra 1632 havde Corfitz Ulfeldt flere forskellige positioner, og i 1636 blev han medlem af rigsrådet og gift med Leonora Christina. I 1637 blev han statholder i København, den første af en række stillinger, som han bl.a. ved svig udnyttede til at skabe sig en enorm personlig formue.
Ved at støtte kongen mod rigsrådet, som især i udenrigspolitikken var meget forsigtigt, blev Ulfeldt efterhånden en af kongens mest betroede rådgivere.
I 1641 ophøjede den tyske kejser ham i forbindelse med mæglingsforsøg i Trediveårskrigen til rigsgreve, og i 1643 blev han dansk rigshofmester, det højeste embede i kongeriget. Efter udbruddet af Torstenssonfejden samme år ophørte imidlertid enigheden mellem kongen og Ulfeldt.
Corfitz Ulfeldt nærmede sig nu rigsrådsoppositionen og blev efterhånden dens leder. Derudover irriterede han kongen ved at forsvare sin svigermor, Kirsten Munk. Kongen svarede igen ved at kritisere Ulfeldts embedsførelse og hans indsats som dansk hovedforhandler ved Freden i Brömsebro. Tronskiftet efter Christan 4.s død i 1648 forværrede Ulfeldts stilling. Han har næppe været hovedmanden bag den meget strenge håndfæstning, men hans kritiske syn på kongemagten var velkendt.
Corfitz Ulfeldt havde succes som forhandler af en alliance med Nederlandene i 1649, men på hjemmefronten var han hårdt trængt både af Frederik 3. og af sine mange fjender blandt rigsråderne og de ledende embedsmænd. I 1650 blev han i den såkaldte Dinasag (efter Dina Vinhofvers) anklaget for at ville myrde kongen, og samtidig blev en undersøgelse af hans embedsførelse indledt. Trods frikendelse i Dinasagen året efter valgte Ulfeldt at flygte til Sverige; i 1652 blev han afsat som rigshofmester, og hans gods konfiskeret.
I Sverige konspirerede Corfitz Ulfeldt mod Danmark. Han deltog i erobringen af landet i 1657 og var en af Sveriges hovedforhandlere ved Roskildefreden året efter. Snart kom han imidlertid i konflikt med Karl 10. Gustav; i 1659 blev han arresteret i Malmø, anklaget for at konspirere med den danske regering og dømt for højforræderi. Han blev året efter lovet amnesti, men var forinden flygtet til Danmark, hvor han og Leonora Christina atter blev arresteret og indsat som fanger på Hammershus på Bornholm.
De blev frigivet i 1661 til gengæld for underskrivelsen af en underkastelseserklæring, men den sygdomssvækkede Ulfeldt fortsatte med at modarbejde kongen. Efter i 1663 at have tilbudt at skaffe kurfyrst Frederik Vilhelm af Brandenburg den danske krone blev Ulfeldt dødsdømt ved Højesteret, og en dukke af ham henrettedes på Slotspladsen i København. Året efter døde han i en båd på Rhinen, på flugt og fysisk og mentalt svækket. Leonora Christina blev holdt fangen i Blåtårn i 22 år
Corfitz Ulfeldt var uden tvivl en af sin tids mest begavede og kompetente danske politikere, og heri lå vel også kimen til hans fald. Hans tilbøjelighed til selvovervurdering voksede efterhånden til storhedsvanvid, som gjorde ham blind for, at han trods sine høje stillinger, sit gode ægteskab og sin store formue ikke var kongens ligemand.
På pladsen, som tidligere husede en meget kendt bygning, byggede Corfitz Ulfeldt sin bolig. Da han kendtes skyldig i landsforræderi 1663 blev hans gård revet ned, for at bruge byggematerialerne andetsteds. Området udlagdes til en offentlig plads, Ulfeldts Plads, og i dens midte rejstes en skamstøtte for ham. Ved branden 1728 nedbrændte næsten alle huse på pladsen. I 1841 skiftede pladsen navn fra Ulfeldts Plads - til det navn, pladsen har i dag.
Hvor Skamstøtten engang stod - den kan i øvrigt ses i Nationalmuseets gård (på startkoordinaterne), er "Den Mystiske Sten" placeret.
For at finde cachen, skal du først finde "Den Mystiske Sten", og cachen ligger så 49 meter fra stenen i retning 75 grader
FFC ligger ved Cachen - god fornøjelse og husk skrivegrej

In English: On this picture - moreover, Denmark's first known photograph, you see the pillar of shame that was raised over Chr. 4's rigshof master, Corfitz Ulfeld. In 1636 Corfitz married Leonora Christina, the daughter of Chr. 4th Corfits Ulfeldt was the son of Chancellor Jakob Ulfeldt, and received a solid education at foreign universities, courts and armies. The in-depth knowledge of European languages and formation influenced him for life and contributed to his very great confidence in his own qualities and abilities. The return home to Denmark in 1629 was the young man of the world associated with the court and the year after, betrothed by Christian 4.'s daughter Leonora Christina. From 1632, Corfitz Ulfeldt had several different positions, and in 1636 he became a member of the Rigsrådet and married to Leonora Christina. In 1637, he became the state's owner in Copenhagen, the first of a number of positions, which he among others. by fraud exploited to create a huge personal wealth. By supporting the king against the council, which was particularly cautious in foreign policy, Ulfeldt gradually became one of the king's most trusted advisors. In 1641, the German emperor elevated him in connection with attempted mediation in the Thirty Years' War to the Reich Act, and in 1643 he became Danish Governor, the highest office in the Kingdom. However, after the outbreak of the Torstensson celebration that year, the agreement between the king and Ulfeldt ceased. Corfitz Ulfeldt now approached the Council of State opposition and gradually became its leader. In addition, he annoyed the king by defending his mother-in-law, Kirsten Munk. The King responded again by criticizing Ulfeldt's administration and his efforts as the Danish chief negotiator at Freden in Brömsebro. The change of throne after Christan 4.'s death in 1648 exacerbated Ulfeldt's position. He has hardly been the principal behind the very rigid stronghold, but his critical view of the king's power was well-known. Corfitz Ulfeldt was successful as a negotiator of an alliance with the Netherlands in 1649, but on the home front he was hard pressed by both Frederik III and his many enemies among the councils and the senior officials. In 1650 he was accused in the so-called Dinasag (after Dina Vinhofvers) of wanting to murder the king, and at the same time an investigation of his office was initiated. Despite acquittal in Dinasagen the following year, Ulfeldt chose to flee to Sweden; in 1652 he was set aside as a master of the law, and his goods confiscated. In Sweden, Corfitz Ulfeldt conspired against Denmark. He participated in the conquest of the country in 1657 and was one of Sweden's main dealers at Roskilde Peace the following year. Soon, however, he came into conflict with Karl 10. Gustav; In 1659 he was arrested in Malmö, accused of conspiring with the Danish government and sentenced for high treason. He was the year after promised amnesty, but had previously fled to Denmark, where he and Leonora Christina were again arrested and detained as prisoners at Hammershus on Bornholm. They were released in 1661 in return for signing a declaration of submission, but the disease-weakened Ulfeldt continued to oppose the king. After having in 1663 offered to proclaim Frederik Frederik William of Brandenburg the Danish crown, Ulfeldt was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court, and a doll by him was executed at the Palace Square in Copenhagen. The following year he died in a boat on the Rhine, fleeing and physically and mentally weakened. Leonora Christina was held prisoner in Blue Tower for 22 years Corfitz Ulfeldt was undoubtedly one of his most gifted and competent Danish politicians, and here too lay the seed for his fall. His propensity for self-evaluation gradually grew into grandeur, which made him blind to the fact that, despite his high positions, his good marriage and his great fortune, he was not the king's equal. In the square, which previously housed a well-known building, Corfitz Ulfeldt built his home. When he was found guilty of treason in 1663, his farm was demolished to use the building materials elsewhere. The area was laid out in a public place, Ulfeldts Plads, and in his midst a shame was raised for him. By the fire 1728, almost all houses burned down on the square. In 1841, the square changed its name from Ulfeldts Plads - to the name that the square has today. Where the Pillar of Shame once stood - it can be seen in the National Museum (on the start coordinates), where "The Mysterious Stone" is located. To find the cache, first find "The Mysterious Stone", and the cache is then 49 meters from the stone in the direction of 75 degrees. Enjoy and remember a pencil.
