The Ulrichstein near the Hardt district of Nürtingen is a four-meter-high boulder made of sandstone from the Rhätkeuper Formation .
The boulder rests on the rock layer of the marl . The marl, which tends to slide, has already tilted the Ulrichstein and let it slide off. It is protected as a rock (Ulrichstein) as a natural monument (individual structure) and under the name Ulrichstein SW von Hardt as well as a geotope. However, there is no sign that this is the Ulrichstein.
According to legend, Pfeiffer von Hardt hid Duke Ulrich von Württemberg here in 1519 . This had turned the population against him because of constant tax increases. The uprising was suppressed, but after Ulrich also murdered the knight Hans von Hutten and attacked the free imperial city of Reutlingen, he was driven out by the Swabian Federation .
The Swabian poet Friedrich Hölderlin was inspired by the legends about Duke Ulrich to write the poem Der Winkel von Hahrdt . Even Wilhelm Hauff has the story of Duke Ulrich and the piper of Hardt's novel Lichtenstein literary processed.
