Boris documented the inscription and the background to the mayor's stone very well. The stone worth seeing is not directly on the Grenzweg, but a little next to it on the Steingrundschneise in the direction of the Egelsbach Transmitter Facility.

Memorial stone for Mayor Peter Jourdan who was shot at this point in 1876.

Background: In the context of disputes between the Walldorf pastor and his community, the parish garden was devastated. The pastor brought a - as later turned out innocent - Walldorf citizens to justice, who was sentenced to six weeks in prison. This lurked on the way home from Langen the pastor and invited as a witness mayor. He fired at the pastor, but mortally wounded the mayor. He then took his own life. A Mörfelder is said to have confessed on his deathbed that he devastated the garden of the pastor. It is not known who eliminated the word "killer hand".
