Corpse stone (Breitenbrunn)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The corpse stone is a memorial in the forest area immediately to the right of the state road from Breitenbrunn / Erzgeb. after Rittersgrün . It bears the inscription In memory of GL Albrecht d. March 6, 1814 .

The memorial stone for the forester Gottlob Leberecht Albrecht was erected here immediately after his death. Albrecht, who lived in today's house at Kirchstrasse 7 in Rittersgrün, was walking uphill in his forestry area on Drechslerweg when he suffered a stroke which resulted in his death on March 6, 1814.

The area surrounding the corpse stone was cleared of wild growth in autumn 2012 on the initiative of the Rittersgrüner chronicler table and the memorial stone was restored and fenced off.

There are several stories and legends about the corpse stone.
