    "1634" / "I (or J) B" / ploughshare down in the ground?
    The Schwedenkreuz is reminiscent of Nördlinger Schlacht on August 26, 1634 (Catholic won over Protestants). On September 8, the imperial horsemen invaded the Schönbuch, many Protestants were killed. In a book in the Schönbucher Chronik are called victims: "(..) Gall Lechelmayer unmarried and buried in the forest Eustachins Renz, buried in the forest Konrad Burger, Roßhirt, who defended his horses in the forest." (Hahn 1972, 61.) Swedish King Gustav Adolf and his army came to the assistance of the southern German Protestants.

    The cross is easy to miss. If I had not searched for it I would not have noticed.
