The Weinbiet-Stein (so in official registers) or the Weinbiet-Loog (so often on site and in the literature) in the Palatinate Forest ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) is a Loogfels that is registered as an individual monument in the list of monuments of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate . Such rocks were provided with notches, which consisted of coats of arms , pictograms or short texts, for example , to mark a border .

Geographical location

The border rock is on the Gemarkungs limit of Deidesheim and Gimmeldingen on the Weinbiet , a mountain of Haardt , the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest to the Rhine rift down. The Weinbiet summit rises approximately 675 m south of the Weinbiet stone.

The Loogfels marks the southern border of the city of Deidesheim and the northern border of Gimmeldingen, which today belongs to Neustadt an der Weinstrasse . It lies at an altitude of 491  m above sea level. NHN right next to a hiking trail that is marked with a white-blue bar . In addition to the rock itself, an additional boundary stone has been set.

Surname

The Weinbiet stone, which gave the mountain its name, was first mentioned in 1534. In an old document from that year it says:

This lag (= loog) so numero 19, also has no letter and is called the Wein Biethes Lag and otherwise has the carved landmarks as Deidesheim this sign (here the Deidesheimer Waldloogzeichen and the Haardter waffle iron is shown) and next to it the Gimmeldinger rust. The people of Deidesheim say, because the wine is called Bieth, so the old people had hewn this instead of a wine Bieth and they had poured wine into it for young people by bypassing the lag, and when they wanted to have a drink, that mouth came across it , also as a reminder.

The entry describes the old custom of crossing borders. The border was migrated in a certain cycle in order to remember its course. Participants were experienced older men who knew exactly where the border was going, and young boys who were supposed to memorize the route. A similar description can be found in another document from 1714.

As with coffee stone , which on the opposite side of the Benjentals is, the characters described in 1534 can be found on the Weinbiet Stone today.

Designations

Only the Deidesheim sign is visible, the rest is hidden.
