    In 1880 Gottfried Ungeheuer came to Baumholder as a district forester.
    On December 18, 1898, he apparently shot a particularly impressive boar here, as evidenced by a stone pillar.
    A rest bench and a picnic bench are available.

    The royal warden Gottfried Ungeheuer (April 7, 1844 - September 26, 1930) came to Baumholder in 1880 as district forester. His father and grandfather were foresters. A small memorial commemorates an episode in the eventful life of Gottfried Ungeheuer. In the forest "Killeres", there is a natural stone column with the inscription: "๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’†๐’“ ๐’”๐’„๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’” ๐‘ญ๐‘ญ๐’“๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ผ๐’๐’ˆ๐’†๐’‰๐’†๐’–๐’†๐’“ ๐’†๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’ ๐’”๐’•๐’‚๐’“๐’Œ๐’†๐’ ๐‘ฒ๐’†๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’“ ๐’‚๐’Ž. ๐‘ฟ๐‘ฐ๐‘ฐ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ– ๐‘บ". Now, shooting a boar is not uncommon for a ranger. It can therefore be assumed that it was a specimen of considerable, perhaps even monstrous size. Source: text information board
