Siebenstein or Siebenerstein
The cross from Burgsandstein stands in the named after him forest department "Siebenstein". To what extent it is an atonement cross, a weather or votive cross or a border mark is not secured.

The Siebenstein, also known as the Siebenerstein, is a historic stone cross in the unincorporated area of Forst Tennenlohe in the central Franconian district of Erlangen-Höchstadt.

The meaning of the stone cross, which was probably erected in the 16th or 17th century, is unknown. It may be a border marker, a weather or votive cross that was erected by workers in the numerous quarries in the Reichswald at the time.

The current location of the stone cross does not correspond to the original place of installation. First it stood in the 1935 erected and later expanded military training area, where it was damaged by practicing soldiers. To save the cross from being destroyed, it was moved to the forest adventure center in Tennenlohe in November 1978.[1] After the troops withdrew in 1993 and the site was no longer used for military purposes, the Siebenstein was erected at its current location.
