description
No information is available about the material of the foundling. It is plate-shaped, almost rectangular and tapers towards the top. Numerous notches can be seen on one narrow and one broad side, which are probably modern plow marks. The stone has a height of 160 cm, a width of 100 cm and a thickness of 80 cm. There is no more precise information about the circumstances of the stone's discovery. Speculations that it was a menhir probably arose during the Third Reich , but have not yet been confirmed.
