The stones are relatively far away from the shore and can only be seen at particularly low water levels. If the level is particularly low, it means that it is a low-rainy year - which in the past has caused many farmers a famine with far-reaching consequences.

The hunger stones are still reminiscent of a time when the common people had to fight for their lives when the weather was not well-intentioned. Engraved in them are the years of particularly hard calamities. The Rhine is not the only river in which such chunks were sunk: Hunger stones are also found in the Elbe, the Danube and the Weser.

The original hunger stone is about 3 m away from the other hunger stones. One picture was added. These stones were created by a family. The stones are always visited and cleaned at a suitable level.
