    In addition to the two crest stones from the years 1725 and 1789, which testify to the already existing for several centuries border course (then between Saxony and Bayreuth), is located on the Schildwiese a memorial stone to the first all-German Rennsteigwanderung 1990 and a Rennsteigkirchentag built in June 2009 memorial , which is to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago, but also the dramatic, often deadly attempts to escape along the inner-German border.
