Gruhe, newly created in 2004 by the Mundelsheim History Society, as a reminder of the former Gruhe, which stood at this location until the 1960s, the old postal route from Marbach towards Heilbronn.

There are around 60 Gruhen in the Ludwigsburg district. The Gruhen were used to set down loads at rest areas on the traffic connections at that time, which were an integral part of living conditions until the second half of the 19th century.

A Ruhstein, also called Ruhestein, Ruhbank, Grubstock, Gruhe, Gruhbank, Krugstatt or Gruegstatt as well as Raststein, is a single or multi-section bench that was used in earlier times for porters to rest. While there were originally comparable devices made of wood, the rest benches that have survived to this day are made of stone. As witnesses to earlier forms of transport and old traffic routes, many resting benches are now classified as small or land monuments.
