This stone table, decorated with the coats of arms of Frankfurt, Hesse, Mainz and Isenburg, symbolizes the Vierherrenstein, which stood on the other side of the railway line in the Zeppelinheim district until the 1950s. The replica was erected in 1975, the original was probably lost during construction work. According to tradition, the territories of Frankfurt, Mainz, Isenburg-Birstein and Hesse-Darmstadt collided at the four-lord table and the rulers of these houses met there for a common meal after a border inspection.

The stone table on the edge of Zeppelinheim, with the coats of arms of Frankfurt, Hesse-Darmstadt, Mainz and Isenburg-Birstein, stands for the Vierherrenstein, which stood on the other side of the railway line in the Zeppelinheim district until the 1950s. The table was erected in 1975 after the Vierherrenstein was lost, presumably during construction work. According to tradition, the Vierherrenstein is said to have marked the point where the territories of Frankfurt, Mainz, Isenburg-Birstein and Hesse-Darmstadt bordered one another.
