    It is said that around 1700 workers from the quarry on behalf of Landgrave Karl cut a block of sandstone for the Hercules figure in the Bergpark. When the transport was to take place later, the stone broke and remained there. The Martinhageners call the rest of the stone Herklos.

      The memorial stone is on a very beautiful hiking trail.
