What appears to be a murder here was, in fact, a tragic accident. A hunter was putting down his rifle (loaded and secured), while a forest worker tried to move it, and a shot was fired, fatally striking a colleague (Heinrich Rau).
The memorial stone was erected by the relatives and renovated in 2020.
