    To commemorate a heavy storm that destroyed the vineyards of Trechtingshäuser Kleinwinzer, in 1667 a "hailstones" was erected at the height. This is to protect the village from further bad weather.

      The hail cross was erected to commemorate the vineyards of the Trechtigshausen winegrowers that were destroyed by hail and to protect the harvest from storms. From here you have a wonderful view of the Lorcher Werth.
