For centuries, the field sworn officers in Franconia were elected and sworn men who were tasked with protecting the law and property in a “land divided by many borders”. Since the college of field sworn officers often consisted of seven people, the term “Seven” was also developed. It can be proven that the Seven were responsible for setting and monitoring the boundary stones up until the 13th century. Originally a result of Germanic jurisdiction, the Seven Office is today the oldest honorary office known in Bavaria. The Seven placed special documents in the ground in addition to the boundary stone to secure evidence (Secret of the Seven!). This tried and tested tradition has not changed even in times of modern electronic and satellite-based surveying technology.

An instruction from 1870 entitled “Area of activity of the field sworn officers” states:
“Wherever the Institute of the Seven existed, its high value and beneficial consequences did not remain hidden. Rather, it enjoyed unconditional trust, contributed significantly to the consolidation of land ownership and its borders in the simplest and least expensive way possible, and prevented many border disturbances and border disputes.”

The Siebener Platz is the most important destination of the Siebener Weg. Here you will find an information board with lots of interesting information. Information about the importance of the field sworn men, the stones and plants.

A bench invites you to rest and have a snack.
