    This atonement stone, which is called "Hussar Stone" or "French Stone", commemorates a French hussar who was killed on October 22, 1799. He died during the coalition wars at the hands of the Szekler hussar Ignatius Ladislaus from Transylvania, who was fighting on the Austrian side. This probably split the Frenchman's head.
    The opposing parties (Szekler Hussars and Palatinate troops) buried the dead together, with the Szekler Hussars holding the eulogy and thus honoring the dead.
    The atonement stone stands on the road to Siegelsbach in a row with four birch trees.
