Here rests in God the faithful support of his mother and siblings Carl Theodor Werner Meinders, born August 18, 1820, died March 6, 1850 - this is what is written on the gravestone in the middle of the Schweichl forest.

There are three theories about the grave that can only be weakly proven:

Accordingly, Meinders was a tramp who was buried here in the forest after his death.

According to a second theory, Meinders was a forester who died here in an accident and was buried on the spot. The forest grave is also popularly known as the "forester's grave".

Can you look again. Especially where now the plate is completely exposed. Coat of arms and inscriptions are also rudimentary to recognize.

There is not a single grave in the forest so often. Unfortunately not well maintained.
