The "Iron Hand" 👉🏿 is the faithful replica of the signpost in Hainich, first mentioned in 1554, and can be found in the immediate vicinity of the Ihlefeld Cross.

The distinctive Iron Hand signpost has been located at a crossroads on Ihlefeld since the Middle Ages. It was mentioned as a terrain marker in a Bad Langensalza official book in 1554. You are looking at a copy, the original was secured in 1964 and re-erected at the castle in Mülverstedt.
