Hiking

The Wedekindstein in Hirschhorn commemorates Ludwig Wedekind, who died during the Baden Revolution of 1848/49. Wedekind, a member of the gymnastics brigade from Hanau, was accidentally shot by his own men because he did not say the password quickly enough.

Hiking

The gravestone of Ludwig Wedekind in Hirschhorn is a historical monument and an interesting stop for hikers interested in local history. The striking stone commemorates the famous poet and playwright who found his final resting place here. The cemetery offers a peaceful atmosphere to pause and take in the history of the place. A beautiful, quiet place for a short break and to reflect on the importance of Wedekind for cultural history.
