Already in times of condominium (Common Rule) Bamberg-Gera formed the confluence of Titschengrundbach and Rodach (often mistakenly called in ancient descriptions Muschwitz) the border of the Bailiwick Nordhalben to the dominions Gera and Orlamünde. After the fall of Nordhalben to the prince-bishopric of Bamberg (1550), a boundary between three dominions had been created here, which the Kronach painter Hans Hempf described in 1568:
"From then on, between the castle gardens and the Bamberg woods, all the way to the Franconian Muschwitzs, as three superiors grinning and divorcing, and the three thieves can sit over a table, and each one on his fiefs or wives, as the gentlemen Reussen, Stiefft Bambergk, andt Waldenfelser to Lichtenbergk ".
It is not known since when a stone slab is here and who has placed it. The name "Dreiherrenstein" can be found for the first time in 1751 in a description of the Tschirner cooperative Johannes Reul:
"The Dreiherrenstein ... is a broad stone with two small streams flowing together on both sides. On this stone, three countries are said to be able to eat gentlemen, so that everyone can sit and eat on his territory: namely the Bishop of Bamberg, the Margrave of Bayreuth and Count Reuss of Plauen ... You can walk around this stone in a few minutes and yourself boast that three gentlemen have been marched through in such a short time. "
In the time of the German division, the Dreiherrenstein formed an extreme landmark of the "Iron Curtain". He lay in front of the mined barbed wire fence (later border fence) in the brook fork, painted with white oil paint and visible from above, only three steps beyond the narrow Titschengrundbach, but still not accessible at that time, neither from the west nor from the east. By the Ortsgruppe Nordhalben of the Frankenwaldverein 1995 a sign "Dreiherrenstein" was created with the coats of arms of three formerly adjoining manors.

One should choose the better seasons for it, in the snow, the way was quite difficult to walk. Partly through undergrowth
