Historic Boundary Stone Between Baden and Württemberg

The state border between the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg used to run here. Today it is still the border between Pforzheim and Neuenbürg and thus the district border between the urban district of Pforzheim and the Enzkreis.

Here on the Grenzweg ran the state border between the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg. The founding of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 put an end to the old dividing line.

For a long time, the coat of arms of Württemberg was primarily the identifying symbol of the members of the ruling house. Over time, the coat of arms went through many changes.
The stag is the heraldic animal of Württemberg and the griffin is the heraldic animal of Baden. Stag antlers were therefore part of the Württemberg coat of arms for a long time and still adorn many buildings and old boundary stones today. More information at: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirschstange
