    One of the 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association stands here and indicates the following:
    The "Matternshütte" (= house of Heinz Mattern) stood here around 1794, then the Middle Isenach forester's house from 1822. "In 1836, the forester Heene lived here. See knight stone no. 276. After Heene, the forester Götz also lived [here], who moved to the Lower Isenach forester's house [= Isenach forester's house] by the pond in 1865. The house on the Middle Isenach was demolished in 1871."

      Ritterstein no. 279: Forsthaus Mittlere Isenach - Matternshütte.
      A forester's house had stood here since 1822 and was demolished in 1871. Before it became a forester's house, there was a hut here that was inhabited by a Heinz Mattern.
