Dominikus Stone
The Dominikus Stone stands in the Krommenthal Forest. Not far from it, in 1878, a farmer from Neuhütten, Dominikus Stenger, was caught by a forester while illegally collecting leaves. During the ensuing argument, the forester shot Dominikus Stenger in self-defense. His wife found his body lying over a rake and scythe.

This field monument originally stood at the edge of a spruce thicket, where it was torn out and damaged during logging operations. It was restored and repositioned in 2001. A stone cross was initially placed on the stone, but this soon disappeared. The wrought iron cross on the globe now in place comes from the former Stations of the Cross around the Neuhütten Church.
