The memorial stone stands directly on the wide path on the ridge of the Bierenberg.
“On [April 13, 1956], woodworker Alwin Burgdörfer [born Sept. 19, 1937] from Iggelbach was fatally injured by a falling tree while at work.” He was only 18 years old. - Rest in peace!

Note (printing error): The issue states “April 14, 1956” as the day of the accident. However, the stone shows “April 13, 1956”.
