Short summary
Menke (1970) presented a clear overview of the state of the art of Pleistocene stratigraphy for Schleswig-Holstein. After 50 years, a reconsideration of the original paper is needed to check if statements are still valid. Four issues were selected and reconsidered in the light of research progress made in the past decades.
