The "Karlstein" - the current place name "Karlstein am Main" goes back to an old boundary stone on the former boundary between the districts of Dettingen and Großwelzheim. It is mentioned under the Latin name "lapis Caroli" in various early documents and maps, for the first time around 900 AD in the Aschaffenburg forest description.
