    • There is an unusual memorial column right next to the church, which commemorates the accidental death of a local pastor.
    • The chapel forecourt with a natural stone wall made of Lucerne gneiss and the new Ruschweiler village fountain designed by master blacksmith Peter Klink was redesigned in 2008. All name changes of the Ruschweiler place name research are stamped and immortalized in metal on the waist band of the new village fountain.

  • On the road from Ruschweiler in the direction of Judentenberg, there is a memorial that was inaugurated on September 11, 2005 as part of the “Places of Remembrance” memorial day at that time and was previously erected by the citizens of Ruschweiler. It is reminiscent of the 23-year-old Pole Mirtek Grabowski (an archive has the name: Mieczysław, in short: Mietek, Gawłowski) from Łódź , who after a racial abuse trial on July 24, 1941 because of his love for the 17-year-old Ruschweiler girl Anna Frirdich von was hanged by the National Socialists on a pear tree above Ruschweiler. Very close to the murder site, there is an inscription written by Jörg Ehni on the memorial stone: Rede Stein! Do not be silent! At the time, Frirdich had to suffer for her love in countless interrogations in the Preungesheim youth prison and in the Ravensbrück concentration camp , from which she was released in December 1942.
