    Tips

    November 5, 2022

    The Jägerstein or Sachsenstein commemorates the ducal Landjägermeister Johannes Michael Sachs, who was killed (murdered?) in a mysterious hunting accident on June 6th, 1722.
    The memorial stone was erected at the instigation of the Meiningen duke Ernst Ludwig I and was originally located near the duck puddle below the Pleßhaus.

      Does anyone know what happened to the Sachs couple's children?

      For the Jägerstein, see e.g. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsenstein_(Breitungen)
