The menhir of Nackenheim (also known as the Long Stone ) is a menhir near Nackenheim in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate .
location
The stone originally stood on the Hohberg between Nackenheim and Bodenheim . There is a parcel of land called “Hinkeläcker” nearby. Sometime after 1955 it was moved to its current location on the western outskirts of Nackenheim at the confluence of Pfarrer-Denner-Strasse and Lörzweiler Strasse.
description
The menhir is made of limestone . It has a height of 120 cm, a width of 90 cm and a depth of 48 cm. The menhir is plate-shaped; the north-eastern broadside is badly weathered. The upper area of the south-eastern narrow side is very smooth (possibly due to frequent touching).
