As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the state border was moved in favor of Prussia and the new border had to be measured and marked in the following years. For this purpose, boundary stones were set in different designs and numbered consecutively. Between the larger boundary stones, which were primarily located at junctions, there were smaller stretcher stones that marked the boundary in detail. See also the landmark list on Wikipedia.

The number 168 was made anew on the initiative of the Merzdorfer Heimatverein and placed on the old base in 2014.
