    Stud book of a special kind

    With this monument, sibling love is represented by the type of grave monument. By carving the names, the founder of the park wanted to create his own kind of family book. The column with the name medallions refers to the Christian Truchsess' closest relatives, it bears the first names of the respective family members as well as the year of birth and death.

    It is thanks to the very weather-resistant sandstone that the names are still legible even after more than 200 years. His father Hans Eitel and his siblings can be found in the top row. A row below: Christian Truchsess and the names of his siblings Gottlob and Charlotte. In the bottom row you discover 3 medallions for your brother's 3 sons. The baron is said to have led these three nephews to the stone and explained that if they had become good men by the age of 30, their names should also be carved there (information from Hassberge Tourismus)
