The Dreiländerstein is a historical boundary stone in the urban area of Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria). It was set up in 1696 at the foot of the Hohenlohberg between the villages of Gerolfing and Irgertsheim .
In the oak forest west of Gerolfing, the Duchy of Bavaria , the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg and the Hochstift Eichstätt have bordered each other since the founding of the Neuburg Palatinate in 1505 . Due to the frequently changing course of the Danube , there were repeated disputes about the exact course of the border. With the installation of the stone, the border lines between the three countries were clearly defined.
The Dreiländerstein is triangular in shape. Every corner points to one of the neighboring states: the eastern to Bavaria, the northwest to Eichstätt and the southwest to Neuburg an der Donau . The initials and coats of arms of the respective sovereigns are shown in every corner:
- MEC for Max Emanuel Churfürst and the Bavarian diamond coat of arms
- IEB for Johann Euchar Bishop and his coat of arms with the handle of the bishop's staff
- IWC for Johann Wilhelm Churfürst and the Palatinate-Neuburg lion coat of arms
