    Created for the 800 year celebration of the Saxon dynasty Wettin.
    Translated by
    To celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Saxon royal house of Wettin, memorial stones were erected in various places in the forest areas of the Tharandt Forest in 1889.
    This Wettinplatz was originally laid out at the site of the Judeich grave, a few meters away, in the form of a spruce hedge that had a W as the planting plan.
    In 2001, the "Wettin W" was reconstructed at its current location using a yew hedge.

    On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the House of Wettin, memorials were erected in the Tharandt Forest in 1889. The Wettinplatz in Tharandt was originally shaped like a "W" made of spruce trees, but was reconstructed with yew hedges in 2001.
