The engravings were certainly made at different times, which suggests the style and dates. In my opinion, the triangle with the letters T, V and A, the branch with leaves, the signature Alpenrose and the year 1933 belong together.
The year “1950” was probably added later, it is not designed as symmetrically as the rest of the picture (height difference “19” and “50”) as well as three letters outside the triangle, an “N” on the left and a “K” on the right of the triangle a "W", which could refer to the people doing the work ("W" for Bartl Wittmann, but with a "B" missing. If "W" stood for Wittmann, one could assume three workers: "N", " K", "W"). According to information from the chairman of the OWV Leuchtenberg, Michael Schwabl, the inscription was reworked and supplemented between 1948 and 1953 by Bartl Wittmann from the Leuchtenberg. The place was probably often used by Weidner hikers as a bathing and resting place.
Correspondingly, the letters "T", "V" and "A" in the triangle could also refer to acting persons of the founding date 1933, but also stand for an association, e.g. B. “T”achten” association “Alpenrose”. Incidentally, 1933 was the year of conformity. Clubs lost their identity in the process.
