The stone is on a busy road and unfortunately cannot be viewed in peace.

The Teufelsstein is located on the western outskirts of Landsberg, right on the edge of Otto-Quandt-Straße in a hedge. In 1845 a large stone grave is said to have been demolished very close to it. The stone itself was almost destroyed in 1900. In 1922 it was put up again. An inscription column that was erected next to it was removed in the 1950s.The menhir consists of coarsely crystalline porphyry. It has a height of 107 cm, a width of 110 cm and a depth of 70 cm. Its mass is 2.5 tons. It is rounded in shape and has a protrusion on the back. Due to recent road construction work, the stone is now much deeper in the earth than in its original state.
