In the 17th century, several fir trees that stood in this place were purchased by the Dutch. These were needed for shipbuilding. Many trunks were acquired by the Dutch from the Palatinate Forest, they turned out to be robust and ideal for shipbuilding. The knight's stone is cared for and maintained by the Palatinate Forest Association PWV, it is NOT a boundary stone.
