- Information about "Gruhen" in the Ludwigsburg district, Baden-Württemberg
- There are over 50 Gruhen (dewiki.de/Lexikon/Gruhen_im_Landkreis_Ludwigsburg)
- Swabian "gruoeben" = to rest
- These stone benches formerly served porters for resting (16th to 19th centuries)
- Back then, heavy loads were transported across the countryside using back carriers or baskets, often carried on the heads of servants, maids, peddlers, etc.
- The elevated design allowed porters to easily retrieve their goods after resting
These "benches" can still be found sporadically in southern Germany
