The Gothic shrine “Der Streitberger Hans” stands about 600 meters north of Greifenstein Castle in the overgrown park on the signposted Bierweg near the Gothic chapel. The stone torture with four corner turrets and a turret for crowning shows four reliefs: Our Lady with the Christ child, John the Baptist, the knight as "Streitberger Hans" and a woman with two children.

Beautiful, well-preserved wayside shrine, which probably dates from the 19th century. It is reminiscent of Hans Wilhelm von Streitberg, was first mentioned in 1810 and renovated in 1996.
