Bauernstein in Einzingen

The Bauernstein von Einzingen is a court stone in the town of Allstedt in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in Saxony-Anhalt . The small monument is under monument protection as a legal monument , but can not be found in the monument directory or in the soil monument directory .

Peasant stones were often raised, as the master builder stood on them, who also had other names in the region, such as Schultheiss / Schulze or village judge. Its name was mostly dependent on the status of the farmers who lived in the respective place. Such an increase can be historically proven in Einzingen , as a painting from the early 19th century has survived, on which you can see the stone, which in turn rests on a masonry plinth, under an imposing village linden tree that several boys are climbing on by using the pawn stone as a step.

Today the appearance is similar to a cuboid (95 centimeters high, 122 centimeters long, 105 centimeters wide). Since the upper stone - the actual peasant stone - clearly protrudes in the painting, it no longer seems to have been preserved today, only the base on which it was located. Or maybe the stone was just shortened. Around this peasant stone under the judicial linden tree on the west bank of the village pond in the center of the village, the community gathered to clarify minor legal disputes as well as to announce new orders and to agree contracts that affected the place as a whole, such as the hiring of a community shepherd.

In the immediate vicinity of the stone is the Gasthaus Zur Erdachse , after which the stone is also called Schenkstein . The connection between the owner of the village jurisdiction and the bar fair was found more frequently. The remains are made of sandstone. Today there are iron flagpole holders on the east and west sides. In the vicinity there is also a nail stone , the war memorial and a little above the church.
