Memorial stone with bench on the village square of Schloßau

In 2017, the village square of Schloßau was erected to commemorate the local historian Bruno Trunk, founding chairman of the “Verein Ortliche Geschichte Schloßau/Waldauerbach” (VöG)!

Excerpt from the explanation of the ceremony:

"... older than it looks, well used, given by Otto Trunk, cleaned, reworked and refurbished by Ralf Drolshagen, made of Odenwald sandstone. On the side it shows a leaf with roses at the foot and thus establishes the connection between Bruno and nature. Wears a book on top as a sign for the writer Bruno Trunk with the association logo of the VÖG as a sign of our connection to his work and as a lasting souvenir for our founding chairman. He shows a parchment on the front. Papers, documents and books were his life, his intention and his vocation. And in the parchment the Schloßau coat of arms, as a sign of the connection between him and his home village of Schloßau!

There is no castle on a green meadow

and no castle in the forest.

No, Schloßau is enclosed

in the forest and field and sky blue

on a wide meadow heap!

No knight and no hero moved here

through mountains and hills.

No, home was the small world

and home, just as you like it,

Schloßau is still today!

His name roars with wind and game

and forest and near heaven.

A real unadulterated picture,

where nature and origin still apply,

is Schloßau on the height!

William Trunk
