    Interesting stone by the wayside - unfortunately I can't decipher the inscription.
    Anyone know more?

      I can help you with that Sven:

      The inhabitant Hans Georg Büttner from Schwärzdorf near Mitwitz had been to Gefell for the church fair and was on his way home between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. In the Pfarrholz on the Föritz he met 2 men, to whom he said good night. Then one of the two suddenly turned around and hit Büttner over the head with a stick for no reason. Nevertheless, the victim continued on his way and stopped off at the inn in Sichelreuth, where he drank another glass of beer and ate some sausage. Then, complaining of a severe headache, he walked through the meadows towards his homeland!
      When he didn't come home that night, his relatives went looking for him the next morning and found him dead in Grünbeckisches Holze.


      (The manslaughter took place on May 22, 1850; memorial stones were set at the place of the crime (this stone) and at the place where Büttner died)
