    In 1632 the turmoil of war erupted over Reinsberg. The imperial troops lived in the area with murder and fire, Dittmannsdorf was already in ashes. Lorenz von Schönberg, lord of Reinsberg Castle, sought refuge within the secure walls of Freiberg. On August 17 he set out and near the Bobritzsch, not far from his seat, he was shot by Croatian troops. Completely exhausted, he dragged himself on, he was able to reach Freiberg on a farmer's horse. He succumbed to his wounds a few days later. The Croatian stone in the ditch tour still reminds us of this event.

      The memorial stone commemorates Lorenz von Schönberg, who died when the Austrians conquered Reinsberg Castle in 1632.

          This memorial stone in the forest is intended to commemorate the hereditary lord of Ober- and Niederreinsberg, Lorenz von Schönberg, who was severely injured by Imperial Austrian troops in 1632.

              Information sign located at the shelter.
              Memorial stone a few steps further.

              The Croat Stone commemorates an
              event from the Thirty Years' War.

              Lorenzo von Schönberg, hereditary lord
              of Ober- and Niederreinsberg,
              was mortally wounded by a Croat shot while attempting to flee to Freiberg after the castle was captured by Imperial Austrian troops.
