It is believed that the stone was erected around 2,000 BC and served as an ancestor cult. During World War II, the Wehrmacht toppled it because they suspected it might be a targeting aid for French artillery. The stone broke into four pieces. After the war, it was reassembled, and the remains can still be seen today.
