Teufelsstein von Pließkowitz / Kleinbautzen, drawn by Karl Benjamin Preusker in 1844
Karl Benjamin Preusker (1786–1871) took the view that the legendary rocks of Upper Lusatia served as pagan sacrificial altars and temples of gods for a sun cult in prehistoric times and were just as significant as Stonehenge in England. He also counted the Devil's Stone from Pliesskowitz among these pagan sacrificial altars and drew it. [2]

Due to numerous archaeological finds, the area is considered a settlement area for both the Lusatian culture and the Milzener, ancestors of today's Sorbs.
