The marking of the Kolbeweg looks like a tick. It was only when I saw the memorial stone with the stag beetle that it gradually dawned on me that it was supposed to represent a beetle. If only they had at least used a stencil with a recognizable beetle! Honoring the researcher might be worth all that effort.
