    This memorial stone is dedicated to Anton Günther. Born on June 5, 1876, in Gottesgab, the folk poet and composer of around 140 dialect songs, distinguished by his love of his homeland and ethnic patriotism, is also considered the inventor of the song postcard. In 1919 and 1920, the local poet visited the Reitzenhain Ore Mountains Association, founded in 1898. After Günther, suffering from severe depression, took his own life on April 29, 1937, at the age of not even 61, the association decided to erect a memorial in his honor at the Reißigmühle.
