The inscription on the large stone in the middle reads:
TO YOU
(PRO) TECTOR BY BUBENROD
I. ENVIRONMENTAL MINISTER OF THE WORLD
DURANT VIRTUTE PARATA
377NN
The Latin quote translates as: “That which is acquired with bravery is permanent” and is the motto of the noble family of Barons von Zwierlein, which goes back to Johann Jacob von Zwierlein. At the beginning of the 1750s he acquired the imperial knighthood of Bubenrod near Gießen. (Source: Wikipedia)

Very nice place, quite interesting to look at the particular disposition of the stones. Central stone has some words engraved, a bit difficult to read.

Mystical stone collection that reminds you of Stonehenge
