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.
