To commemorate seven buried quarry workers who lost their lives in the Becker hard stone works in Förtschendorf on March 21, 1963, owner Georg Carl had a memorial stone erected in 1988. Since this had become unusable due to the weather, the current owner of the quarry donated a new Grauwackenstein.
