An uncut sandstone, "Der Dibbefrau-Stein", with the year 1852, draws attention to the fate of a peddler with "Marburger Dibberchen", who was murdered here on the way to the market in Frankenberg.

The "Dibbe" are pots in the Hessian dialect. The story says that a "Dibbefräh", who was on the way with her goods from Marburg to the market in Frankenberg, was attacked and murdered here. The history books say nothing more about the deed itself, but this memorial stone was set here. The unworked stone bears the year 1852. A cross appears to have been carved into the head.
