    The boulder came here during the Saale Ice Age and was erected in 1960. The fact that it was set up artificially makes the Schwedenstein a special attraction with its smooth underside and the bulging nose on the other side. When do you ever see a boulder from below?

    Evidence from the Ice Age around 200,000 years ago.
    In 1960, a granite boulder was discovered during construction work in the Lohe district.


    It broke apart during the salvage work, so that today the boulder is in several pieces on the edge of the "Siekertal" green area, a reminder of the Ice Age. Around 200,000 years ago, the colossus migrated to us from Scandinavia. For this reason, it was given the name "Swedish stones".
