    This is one of the more than 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV). It indicates the following:
    Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria (March 12, 1821 - December 12, 1912) only took over the regency of Bavaria or the Bavarian Palatinate at the age of 65. An oak tree was planted here on the occasion of his 90th birthday. He died a year later at the age of 91.
    "Until his death, he brought Bavaria years of peace through his political restraint, modesty, efficiency and popular spirit."
