Borders have existed since the Neolithic period, i.e. for around 8,000 years. Back then, the first people came up with the idea of clearing a piece of land of stones and weeds and planting a field on it. The field was bordered by a ditch, a hedge or stones.
They also marked the first boundaries to protect their fields.
Since stones are more durable and easier to maintain than hedges, they soon became a common feature
Marking of larger areas such as corridors and markings.
The boundary stones are numbered consecutively. The line on the top indicates the border. For greater security, there are so-called witness stones under the boundary stones.

The unauthorized moving of such boundary stones was tantamount to theft and was punished accordingly. The position of the boundary stones was checked regularly by means of a border inspection, also known as a border walk, Schnadegang, or corridor walk.

Many boundary stones have been preserved and the associated field names can tell us stories from times gone by.
