    Hiking

    Dr. Bernhard Stürtz (1845–1928) was a German mineral and fossil dealer and paleontologist. He was self-taught and published important works on fossils, particularly from the Hunsrück Slate. Several fossil species, such as the crinoid Taxocrinus stuertzi and the starfish Stuertzura, were named after him.

    In addition to his scientific work, he was also involved in nature conservation, particularly in the Siebengebirge Mountains. The "Stürtzplatz" (Stürtz Square) was established in his honor on the slopes of the Wolkenburg, and a monument with a portrait relief was later erected.
