The Gruhe von Erligheim: an old Gruhe in a typical location
There are around 60 Gruhen in the Ludwigsburg district . About half of them are still largely in their original state. Reinhard Wolf , Hans Dietl and Albrecht Gagsch published a comprehensive inventory in 1984. Reinhard Wolf updates a detailed inventory from time to time.
The present list follows the explanations of Wolf, Dietl and Gagsch in abbreviated form. Data from Wolf's updated inventory was used to locate the Gruhen. Furthermore, information on the construction and state of preservation of the pits as well as the importance of old road connections from this inventory was used.
Processing details of an old Gruhe (Erligheim): Lintel with a valley profile, artful pointed processing, wide and accurate edge cut
Processing details of a modern, carefully crafted Gruhe (Sersheim): rounded edges, machine-tipped and axed surfaces
The preserved historical Gruhen in the district of Ludwigsburg are made of sandstone , very often of reed sandstone . They are usually put together from simple blocks. Roundings of all kinds are not very common, but the lintels are often provided with a bevel on the lower edge . The surfaces were tips , Krönelung , Scharrierung , About Beilen designed or a combination of these options. In addition, an edge was often added. Wolf, Dietl and Gagsch estimate the original stock in the area of today's rural district to be around 200. However, some of them are likely to have been made of wood - less expensively. The annual accounts of the community of Tamm from 1781 to 1782, which cite the production of “2 Ruhstätt und -bänk” under “Carpentry”, is an indication of this.
Until the 1970s, these small local monuments were little appreciated. Wherever they were in the way of traffic or agriculture, they were removed as annoying obstacles, for example when consolidating land, building roads or building houses. The accelerated weathering of the sandstone in the 20th century also contributed to the shrinkage, particularly in locations where the ponds were exposed to the effects of road salt.
A rethink began at the beginning of the 1980s, at the same time as and also influenced by the inventory by Wolf, Dietl and Gagsch: The historical value of these rest areas was recognized by the transport connections at the time, which were an integral part of living conditions until the second half of the 19th century Century were. Work had already begun on restoring old graves. In some cases, they have also been relocated to locations where they were less endangered than at the original location. New grounds were also built. They were preferably erected in locations where there was or is presumed to have been a historic monument; in some cases simply at locations with prominent locations. These new pits consist of sawn and machined sandstone blocks.
Since grooves were used to set down loads, the fall surface is usually at stomach to chest height, around 1.20 m – 1.30 m above the ground. Every now and then you come across greens that are lower and look more like a bench. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the Gruhen sank due to their weight or that earth was washed ashore. On the other hand, it is due to a lack of knowledge that Gruhen were dug too deep when moving or rebuilding.
Individual representations
The structure is based on the municipalities and within the municipalities according to districts. Due to this system, the headings are repeated in individual cases.
48.9282 ° N , 9.31937 ° O , about 1 km north-northeast of the town center at the junction of thedonkey pathfrom theErdmann Häußer road. The spot was once a major junction. To the northwest, the route led viaErdmannhausenin the direction ofMurr. To the north you came to theweldingbridge over the Murr and from there on towardsSteinheim. After Södosten we went to theWinnenden area. The Gruhe lies behind a strip of bushes on the side path separated from the road and is overgrown with undergrowth.
48.9282 9.31937
After 1984, Gruhe built a historic Gruhe on the site, which was removed during the land consolidation in the early 1950s. Two-part with a tapped bench on the right. Surfaces finely roughened by machine, edges rounded.
48.9414 ° N , 9.23959 ° O at theLudwigsburg Roadopposite the industrial estate on the outskirts. The straight road that continues toLudwigsburg-Hoheneckreaches the hill at this point and can be overlooked to the southwest.
48.9414 9.23959
In 1999, Gruhe built a historic Gruhe instead of a historic Gruhe built around 1800, which was removed when Ludwigsburger Strasse was expanded. Amalie Seyfferle Foundation. Inscriptions are engraved on the lintel. On the front: Created in 1800 by our ancestors / Benningen am Neckar / Zum AusGruhen / renewed in 1999 . On the right outside, difficult to read due to the growth of moss and lichen: By descendants F. u. W. Seyfferle / Mayor Haaf / Bildh. Kirschler . On the left pillar is a coat of arms with two crossed prior rods as a symbol for the Backnang monastery , on the right the tithe sign BB for Benningen-Backnang is engraved. All surfaces are scratched and the edges rounded.
48.99151 ° N , 9.16116 ° O Below the landNeckarblick 49; Access along the slope fromIngersheimer Straßeor from BesigheimerHörnle. The small, now dilapidated and difficult to walk grass and stepped path, which leads vertically up the slope from the valley to the Gruhe, used to be a much used riding and footpath from Besigheim to Kleiningersheim. Shortly before reaching the hill, you could take a breather at the Gruhe. Today the path from above is no longer accessible because it is interrupted by the private property.
48.99151 9.16116
Well-preserved one-unit old pit of massive construction, made of precisely worked sandstone reed with strong edge chipping, heavily overgrown from the right side.
48.96676 ° N , 9.11498 ° O At theLöchgauer roadnorthwest of the Ortsausgangs of Bietigheim, above the northern road embankment at the oldLöchgauer way. The latter was a riding and footpath, branching off from the driveway at this point. It offers a short shortcut, but over inclines, while the road runs at approximately the same height level. In addition, the path used to lead to a vineyard location.
48.96676 9.11498
Simple, one-piece, probably very old designs. The stones are pointed and flattened, in a few places you can still see edge chipping. The pillar and lintel are connected at the front with cranked iron bands. The Gruhe was almost forgotten, overgrown and surrounded by rubble until 1982, until it was released at Reinhard Wolf's initiative.
back
48.96935 ° N , 9.12167 ° O on the altitude of thenight mountainnorth of Bietigheim, onSiechenweingartwegagainst a Aussiedlerhof. The location offers an excellent view of the town in the Enz Valley. The Gruhe stood 30 m further south until 1981 and was moved to its current location during development work for the Aussiedlerhof.
48.96935 9.12167
Simple one-part plans. The various open anchor holes on the lintel and pillars indicate that the Gruhe was implemented several times. Further indentations on the lintel suggest that it originally served a different purpose. The stones are badly weathered and splintered. They are pointed, flattened and provided with an edge flap.

48.9459 ° N , 9.0917 ° O in the district Bissingen, before the propertyJahn Straße 89. Today's access to the sports fields was once a dirt road.
48.9459 9.0917
Massive one-part pit made of reed sandstone. The lintel and the two pillars are connected to each other with an iron clamp on the front as well as on the rear. Edges and corners are slightly damaged in many places; the somewhat weathered surfaces are all crowned.
49.04613 ° N , 9.11313 ° O South of L 2254, opposite the turningto Lauffener field, away from former major pathways.
49.04613 9.11313
Two-part frame with a somewhat weathered bench, renovated in 1970. A then attached, disproportionate, too short and too shallow lintel on the main part was replaced after 1984 by an appropriately proportioned, sharpened new lintel with edge impact. Right pillar on the main part with remains of a clamp, according to Wolf not original. Spacious cement filling between the main part and the bench. The pillars on the main part are only scratched in places. Based on the processing and the location, Wolf, Dietl and Gagsch suspect that it is not an original Gruhe, but a newer work.
49.03171 ° N , 9.08233 ° O Around 1.5 km of the village south-west, bordering the vineyards opposite the ruins of theKloesterle.
49.03171 9.08233
Two-part Gruhe with a separate bench made of very roughly hewn reed sandstone, discovered by Reinhard Wolf in 1979. The lintel of the main part has a fold at the bottom on the back. This indicates that it is not an original Gruhenstein, but a former window or door post. Together with the rough editing, this indicates that this is not a historical, but a new Gruhe.
48.81925 ° N , 9.05765 ° O At the confluenceSiemensstrasse-Calwerstraße(B 295). The Gruhe was originally 500 m outside the city on the B 295; In 1995 it was moved to its current location.
48.81925 9.05765
Massive one-piece gouges made of patterned sandstone. The stones have several sawing and gluing points as well as color-matched and crowned (sic) mortars. In 1984, at the old location, this was not the case. In addition, the height of the fall has changed since 1984. The Gruhe was probably damaged at the old location and then patched together from old and new parts.
48.84183 ° N , 8.9851 ° O Opposite theStedehof, onHöfinger roadabout 1 km south of Heimerdinger station.
48.84183 8.9851
The two-part pit made of sawn reed sandstone was created, according to the engraving in the bench, in 1972 as part of the land consolidation. The lintel is engraved Krugstatt in large raised letters, framed on the left and right by the Heimerdinger coat of arms and three ears of corn. The surfaces are partly scratched, partly machine-crowned.
48.89954 ° N , 8.92454 ° O AmMühlwegabout 800 m west-northwest of Nussdorferstrasse Ortsrandes on the uphill side of the path, 50 m before the intersection with theHartweg. TheMühlwegcontinues down into the Kreuzbachtal to theSorgenmühle.
48.89954 8.92454
The Gruhe was set up in 1986 to replace an old one that had collapsed. This predecessor is from around 1750. It was intact until the 1950s; In 1983 the pillars were still standing. The new Gruhe is two-part and well crafted. The bench on the right is tapped to fit perfectly. All stones are machine-crowned and axed, and also provided with an inclined edge. A trash can immediately to the left and a sign immediately to the right of the Gruhe disturb the visual impression.
48.94189 ° N , 9.27709 ° O on the northern edge of the road K1603 of Erdmannshausen to Marbach, about 30 meters from Marbach name sign.
48.94189 9.27709
After 1984 a two-part pit was built from old pillars and probably new lintel stones. The lintel of the main part is scratched all around, the lintel of the bench is scratched on the sides and crowned on the surface and provided with a chipped edge. The pillars are pointed.
48.94187 ° N , 9.30961 ° O at the intersection of two paved lanesKirchberger Road-Stations of the Cross, before the farmstead Herzer.
48.94187 9.30961
Two-part pit built after 1984 from old stones with a noticeably short main lintel. This fall stone has a fold of around 3 cm at the front and back. He's all around. The pillars are pointed and barred. The bench is pointed and has an edge flap.
48.93507 ° N , 9.30114 ° O at theAffalterbach street(K1603) southeast of the village, opposite the turningto the guard shack. View over a gentle valley depression toLembergopposite. The field path crossing at this point was originally calledWeihinger Wegand was a connection fromPoppenweilervia the lost hamlet of Weihingen toKirchberg an der Murr. Until 1965 there was an old cemetery in the same place; it was eliminated in a land consolidation.
48.93507 9.30114
After 1984 a two-part pit built from old stones. Seen from above, the lintel stones are cylindrically rounded at the outer ends. All stones are rough pointed.

49.02016 9.0881
One-part Gruhe. Wolf, Dietl and Gagsch describe the grooved lintel, finely sharpened with a wide edge, as one of the “most beautifully worked stones on the Gruhen still existing in the district”.
Four-section frame with a two-section main section and two bench seats; the largest in the Ludwigsburg district. The Gruhe, probably built in 1808, originally stood around 700 m further northeast at the highest point of the Freiberg – Benningen road . In the end, at the old point of view, the heavy system had sunk in so much that the seats were almost at ground level and the pillars of the benches were no longer visible. After 1984 it was moved to its current location. The plain-looking, even lintels are crowned and worked with edge hitting.
48.92398 ° N , 9.17681 ° O At theMonreposstraßesoutheast meters of residential community of the city in front of a farmstead, about 800th
48.92398 9.17681
The crowned reed sandstone quarry with a chipped edge was built in 1981, at the end of the Heutingsheim land consolidation, at a location where, according to a local plan from 1770, there was a cave.
49.05178 ° N , 9.16224 ° O In the vineyards northeast of the Kirchheim Neckar loop at a crossroads. The original location was probably at the confluence of theLochwegwith theB 27.
49.05178 9.16224
After the suspected previous quarry was broken off, the parts were stored for a long time with a farmer. Tape holes on the lintel and pillars that are unrelated to each other, a large square vertical hole in the right part of the lintel and the use of plenty of cement mortar indicate several conversions and suggest that the parts were previously used for different purposes. The lintel was probably placed upside down during the reconstruction, as the underside was made smooth, while the upper side was only roughly pointed. The bench consists of an old door arch with the engraved characters 17 CH 13.
48.85135 ° N , 9.07565 ° O about 1 km west of the Ortsrandes of Münchingen, on the northern edge of the dirt road, which from theSchöck Inger Street, passing here in the streetin the garment wall, branches. The GewannHinter derMaurener Geruhstatt lies in the northwest of the Gruhenlocation.
48.85135 9.07565
The Gruhe was donated in 1987 by the Heimatverein Münchingen. It is a simple, stylistically appropriate Gruhe made of light-colored, sawn and machine-crowned stones.
48.871 ° N , 9.1938 ° O north of the city, in the vicinity of the North West corner of the new cemetery, at the diagonal intersection ofOßweiler path, the Kornwestheim andOßweilconnects with theLudwigsburg way, that ofZazenhausenaccordingLudwigsburgleads.
48.871 9.1938
Simple one-piece old shaft, stocky and massive with an exceptionally large camber. In the front left an iron clamp with a forge stamp. The anchor holes of former brackets on the back are mortared. The stones are roughly sharpened.
Simple one-piece gouge, dug too deep, more like a bench, with artistic engraving Korn Westheim 1803 and decorative elements in the engraved field on the front. The surfaces are crowned.

48.85758 ° N , 9.1852 ° O Stuttgarter Strasse, on the west side opposite to the confluenceRechbergstraße. Today in the middle of the city, in the 19th century, however, there was open space here.
48.85758 9.1852
Identical in construction to the Gruhe above and below, with the same engraving. Presumably all three stones were made in one order by the same stonemason. The surfaces are pointed. Large-scale repairs with mortar, some of which are flaking off again.
48.8514 ° N , 9.18424 ° O Stuttgarter Street, on the west side just south across from the endAlbstraße. The Gruhe originally stood around 150 m further south on the boundary of the district.
48.8514 9.18424
Simple grooves with a sweeping lintel, identical in construction to the two grooves mentioned above. The badly legible engraving, in the same artistic design and font as on the other Gruhen, reads: Zuffenheiser Margdung 1803 Korn Westheimer Margdung (sic). The crowned lintel is provided with a chipped edge and repaired in various places with plenty of mortar. The pillars are pointed and axed. The left pillar has been redesigned recently. The pillar on the right shows severe flaking on the inside and a large flaking section on the lower front edge on the outside.
48.90622 ° N , 9.20029 ° O At theBottwaltalstraßecorner Hölderlinstraße in Ludwigsburg-Hoheneck; at the intersection of the connecting path that leads from Monrepos Castle past the Favoritepark and down to the Hoheneck spa. Until 1978, the Gruhe stood inHeimengasse, the steep connecting road from Hoheneck up towardsFreiberg-Beihingen.
48.90622 9.20029
One-piece old school; Lintel placed flush on the outside of the pillars. The lintel, which is slightly chipped on the edges, has a largely illegible engraving on the front; However, the year 1814 is recognizable in the engraved field on the right . The pillars are obviously more recent. The lintel is scratched, the pillars are pointed with a pronounced edge impact.
48.9111 ° N , 9.29438 ° O Around 1.5 km east of Poppenweiler, 400 m to the west edge of the forest on the slopes ofLvivon a Wegabzweigung onGrassy way. Nowadays this is by no means grassy, but a concrete dirt road. It leads from Poppenweiler to Lemberg and used to be part of the connection between Poppenweiler andAffalterbach. The Gruhe lies on a hilltop; the location offers a wide panoramic view over the lowlands to theHohenasperg, the villages of Poppenweiler andHochdorfand up to the Lemberg.
48.9111 9.29438
Simple one-part plans. It was vandalized in 1977 and rebuilt in 1978. The lintel is chamfered at different depths at the bottom on the front and back. The pillar stones also have such chamfers on the inside. All stones are pointed and provided with a chipped edge; the top of the lintel is noticeably uneven and only roughly pointed. Due to the uniform, unusual processing, Wolf suspects that all three stones come from a workshop and that the damaged pit was completely replaced. A curbstone, half buried on the corner in front of the Gruhe, reveals the remains of a scratching. It could be the pillar of a former bench.
The two-part pit consisting of simple, chiseled sandstone blocks with an independent but directly adjoining bench was built after 1984 in place of a heavily damaged previous pit.
48.9503 ° N , 9.27257 ° O Around 1.1 kilometers of the aforementioned Gruhe east-northeast, at the junction of the alpine pathgallows-Spitteläckerwith thecattle track. The latter leads as a ravine from theRiedindustrial park in Marbachto the hill and on to the Aussiedlerhöfe located there.
48.9503 9.27257
The two-part Gruhe was built in 2000 and consists of corrugated sandstone blocks with an all-round edge.
48.93553 ° N , 9.27169 ° O at theAffalterbach-Straße 65in front of the buildings of the Weingärtnergenossenschaft. In 1980 the Gruhe was moved from its previous location, which was 120 m closer to the city and directly on the road, to its current location.
48.93553 9.27169
During the implementation in 1980, the bench was replaced, which had been destroyed in a car accident in 1960. The new bench, presumably made from Lettenkeuper sandstone, has not been processed to make it clear that it is a replacement. The remaining, original cuboids are made of sharpened and coarsely chipped reed sandstone and are damaged at corners and edges.
High, simple, one-piece gouge with a massive lintel and no edge impact. The Gruhe was renovated in the 1980s, originally only the heavily damaged pillars were supposed to be replaced with new ones. During the restoration work, however, the lintel in the city's building yard also got lost and had to be replaced. The pillars are shredded horizontally; the lintel is processed differently on all four sides.
48.91239 ° N , 9.07632 ° O north of the town on the western side of thesub Riexinger road, at the junction of the roadLettenbödle.
48.91239 9.07632
The Gruhe originally had a bench on the left. After 1984 it was renovated and the dilapidated lintel was replaced. The engraving EZ92 on the underside of the lintel suggests that this happened in 1992. The left of the two bright, high pillars was repositioned the wrong way around during the renovation, with the tap hole of the former bench connection facing forward. Both the lintel and the pillar are pointed and scraped, and the lintel is also beveled all around the lower edge. The conspicuous rounding of the pillar edges could have resulted from the fact that scythes were ground on the piers.
48.91316 ° N , 9.08292 ° O North of the city in the forest on the northern slope of the Leudelsbachtals, onTalerwegabove the southeastern side of the path.
48.91316 9.08292
The tapered, flattened and bevelled at the edges of the lintel originally had a bench. It has a noticeably protruding lintel at the ends. The pillars are well preserved. The upper edge of the lintel has a serrated edge on the back, which is probably not to be interpreted as an ornament, but as damage.
The Gruhe, which was still free in 2010, is heavily overgrown by vegetation in 2020. It is easy to miss from the path if you are not looking specifically for it. From the upper side, which shows the photo from 2009 on the right, it is no longer visible in summer.
48.92354 ° N , 9.03464 ° O to an old track which extends at the edge of the wood above the southeastern Enzufers in north-south direction. Probably the old way was once the straight line connection betweenUnterriexingenandPulverdingen. To the east of the old path there is a wood with a stone border made of limestone lumps, red sandstone rubble and some rubble. In the middle of this wood, the Gruhe stands to the west under a large walnut tree.
48.92354 9.03464
Simple one-part plans. With the exception of the underside, the lintel is scraped all around and bevelled at the lower edges. The underside of the lintel is only roughly pointed. Both pillars are also finely chiselled. At the beginning of 2010 the pit is broken, the lintel is behind the pillars. As a result, the large, almost square pegs hewn from the stone are visible, with which the lintel was fixed on the pillars.
In 2020 the Gruhe will continue to appear as a ruin, meanwhile further overgrown with vegetation and rubbish at its feet.
48.924 ° N , 9.0526 ° O In the orchards around 1 km south of the Frauenkirche, the paved trail. In the past, this path was part of a long-distance path that stretched at least fromKleinsachsenheimtoHemmingen. The name of the location isAm Brünnele; the emerging moisture from the ground indicates that there was actually a well here.
48.924 9.0526
Single-part old pit made of sandstone reed. The lintel with the all-round bevel is designed in the same way as the Gruhe on the Markgröninger Tälerweg, as are the band clips that are adapted to the bevel and with which the lintel is attached to the pillars. This suggests that both pits were built by the same craftsmen.
48.8902 ° N , 9.11789 ° O Leaving the village, on the north side of theMarkgröninger road.
48.8902 9.11789
The Gruhe was rebuilt in 2000 instead of a Gruhe that was dismantled at the same location in 1970. The pointed lintel, damaged at the ends by knocking off, comes from the previous grille. It had been stored by a private person. The roughly worked pillars are obviously new.
The two-part structure consists of simple, even, pointed cuboids. The bench is separate from the main part; this is unusual. The Gruhe was built in 2004 by the Mundelsheim History Society in place of a previous one that was lost in the 1960s.
48.96483 ° N , 9.25198 ° O Am Lindenweg on the northwestern outskirts of the village. The route was part of theHeerstrasse, a long-distance connection thatcontinuedviaHöpfigheim.
48.96483 9.25198
The left pillar and the lintel of the one-part Gruhe are made of reed sandstone. They are sharpened, over-axed and provided with a margin. The right pillar made of chiselled sandstone was used after 1984; he replaced a broken pillar.
The old two-part Gruhe, which was still free standing in 1984, is now almost overgrown by dense bushes. The fall stones are weathered and damaged at the corners and edges. The type of processing is no longer recognizable on the old stones. The pillars of the main part and the left pillar of the bench are new.
48.87227 ° N , 9.28211 ° O on the northern outskirts of Neckarrems at theSchwaikheim roadnear a water reservoir. The location, which is now somewhat built-up, used to offer a good view over gentle slopes to the Neckar valley.
48.87227 9.28211
The old Gruhe, attested at this location since 1823, was removed in 1967 when the water supply network was expanded. The fall of the old Gruhe found its place in 1982 in the lapidary at the wine press school; see next discussion. In 1987 the old Gruhe was replicated by the Remser Heimatverein. - The system consists of a one-part group with a separate bench a few meters further back. The top, back and underside of the lintel are pointed, the underside also over-ruffled, while the front is irregular and raw. Both pillars are pointed in front; the other three sides, however, are raw and irregular. The camber of the bench is pointed.

48.87035 9.27885
The low, one-part bench is more of a bench than a gully. The lintel, however, is the original lintel of the old gully on Schwaikheimer Strasse - see above. It is dilapidated and brittle, the corners and edges are chipped in many places, the surfaces largely weathered. A hardly legible year is engraved on the front. In the undamaged areas you can see that the stone was previously sharpened and chafed.
48.87045 ° N , 9.28848 ° O On the free hill east above Neckarrems, with unobstructed views of the Neckar valley to the north and northeast. The location, with today's park benches to the right and left of the Gruhe and shady trees and bushes in the back of the facility, is set up as a resting and viewing area for walkers.
48.87045 9.28848
The two-part Gruhe consists of roughly sharpened sawn sandstone blocks. On the front there is an inscription Flurbereinigung Neckarrems 19 .. ; the last two digits and a coat of arms are carved out.

49.00044 9.03811
Simple, one-part, low-height, almost like a bench. It was built a few years before 1984 when the vineyards were cleared and is not an original Gruhe. A hulking sandstone cube was placed on two massive pillars with clearly different widths. Its front side was once today's back, because it has a fine grain, while the front and top are uneven and roughly pointed. The left pillar is also only roughly worked, while the right pillar is crowned and provided with a chipped edge.

The dilapidated predecessor was destroyed in a tractor accident in 1981. In the same year a new pit was erected as a replacement from sawn, chiselled sandstone blocks of the same dimensions. Even the year 1830 was carved on the inside of the left pillar in the same style and size as the original. It is not certain whether this year actually indicates the production date of the old Gruhe. The old pillar may also have been a reused component, for example a door lintel.
48.91488 ° N , 9.12657 ° O 800 meters south-east of the old Tammer village, the old connection path between Tamm and Asperg, on the field at a crossroads. The slightly elevated position above the current level of the path offers a view of Hohenasperg. The crown of a largewalnut treehas grown over the Gruhe (as of 2020). This gives the site a picturesque appearance, but would defeat the original purpose of the Gruhe.

Old two-part Gruhe with main part and bench, renovated in a style contrary to 1984. The main lintel, a precast concrete part, was replaced after 1984 by a sandstone block that was chiselled and chamfered at the lower edges. The Gruhe was obviously destroyed in 2009 in connection with forest work. The old pillars that have remained standing are horizontally scraped throughout.
In December 2013 the Gruhe was still in ruins. The ruins of the lintel and the bench lying on the ground are now overgrown with moss.
In 2020, the ruins were largely overgrown by vegetation.

Two-part Gruhe. The mortared tap hole in the left pillar indicates that there used to be a tapped bench. The current small bench was only added after 1984; it does not fit into the main part because of the proportions and the coarse pointed surfaces. The lintel is provided with a bevel, this is only roughly pointed, while the side surfaces are roughly pointed and crowned. The surface of the fall is smooth and weathered in places. Right behind the Gruhe there is an inappropriately placed high post with a signpost and information board.
