Three-layer stone in the Geyers forest

The three-layer stone Geyer is a demarcation a boundary markers ( Dreiherrenstein ) of three adjacent former dominions in Geyer's forest in the Saxon Erzgebirge .

history

In 1504, the border between Geyer and Zwönitz , which at that time was administered by the Schönburg rulers , was redefined. A boundary stone was erected at the point where the Hartstein , Schönburg and the lordly Meissnian possessions lay next to each other. The name Dreilagenstein refers to the shape of the stone. Each side shows the possessions with the corresponding coat of arms . The electoral coat of arms and the Geyer heads for the city of Geyer point in the direction of Geyer, the patron saint of the Grünhain monastery points to Zwönitz and the Schoenburg coat of arms points to their possessions. The stone is located in Geyer's forest , about 300 meters from the Geyer transmission tower and can be reached via a hiking trail.
