Meesdorf (Germany) is an urban district of Buer at the city of Melle in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony.
The "Rote Pfahl" is a marker at the side of the Kalbsiekstrasse-road, where 19th century trader's route through Meesdorf is recorded.
To move loaded wagons over the Bad Essen hill, traders had to use additional horses.
It represented, for other purposes a rallypoint, in case something uncommon ever happened (crimes, accidents, robberies, meetings, etc.).
