This structure of sandstone appears puzzling - its use is not very obvious at first. Here were such benches before the motorized time so convenient: Here heavy loads could be dropped in skillful height, so that they had to take a rest after laboriously from the ground again.

Baskets of crops were mostly carried upside down, merchandise in heavy baskets. From ordinary people who could afford neither donkey nor cow or even a horse as a load animal, goods had to be transported usually on foot from one place to another. Since such a quiet bank on the wayside offered a welcome opportunity to breathe.

The load carrier bench is actually no longer self-explanatory these days. All the better that an information board explains the purpose and use.
