Memorials
There are two memorials in the Sailauf Forest:
- The octagonal sandstone pillar "Am Schwabenheiligen" is on the road from Sailauf to the Englander. It is a memorial to the Schwab district hunter who died in the middle of the 18th century. Only 100 years later (1850) was this stone with an inscription set by Schwab's descendants, namely the family of the local brewer and innkeeper Johann Adam Bergmann. This was the father of the automobile entrepreneur Theodor Bergmann .
- Approx. 1.5 km further, the path that starts at the hiking car park at Schwabenheiligen leads to the “Kurzen Heiligen” (on the Eselsweg at the boundary of Laufach). This is a wayside shrine that reminds of the murder of the district forester Kurz by a poacher in the middle of the 19th century. The image depicting the crime has been changed several times over the years, most recently in 1980.
