On the left-hand side towards Brennersgrün there is a square column with the outline of a Bavarian lion and the year 1935 - a curiosity, because after the end of the small states there was really no longer any need for country border stones.
Perhaps a look at the Thuringian side will solve the puzzle. On it there is a Thuringian lion, also with the year 1935 - and in its raised paw it holds the remains of a swastika.
It is assumed that the Nazi regime also intended to leave its mark on the Rennsteig, in the majestic surroundings of historical coat of arms stones.

The state border between Thuringia and Bavaria has been marked here since 1935 with a stone showing a corresponding lion on each side.
