    A huge stone block dominates this grave. The inscription can still be seen quite clearly, although some of the weathering has already begun. The information on the plaque at the grave is listed here for the sake of completeness:

    Wilhelm von Hanau (1836-1902)
    A son of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I of Hesse-Kassel
    He married Elisabeth of Lippe-Weißenfeld in 1890 as his second wife
    In 1903, Frau von Hanau bought the Drehsa manor, had this forest grave built (completed in 1911) and had her deceased husband transferred from Horzowitz/Bohemia and buried here.
