Menhir or Langenstein, marks the border between Stahlberg and Katzenbach.

The largest and also one of the most beautiful menhirs in the Palatinate is the Langenstein on the Stahlberg near Rockenhausen. It measures 3.40 m in height, 1.30 m in width and is 90 cm thick. It stands on the southern slope of the Stahlberg. Not far from the menhir is a (sealed) spring and a burial mound (to the due west).

The west side of the stone is very flat and shows traces of stonemasonry tools. Someone may have tried to work on the stone later (straightening it for the purpose of using a boundary stone or Christianizing it). But fortunately he couldn't finish his work. The menhir lay around for a long time and was not put up again until 1936.
