    "To the Chancellor of the newly resurrected German Empire" was the inscription on the now sadly destroyed bronze relief from 1899 on the Bismarck Stone. The stone laurel wreath that framed the relief is still preserved. As is the now barely legible inscription carved into the stone below: "Prince Bismarck - First Chancellor."

      On the Bismarckstein there is a large bronze relief with the year 1899 and the inscription "The Chancellor of the New German Empire".
      A mighty staircase carved into the rock leads to the relief.

        The Bismarkstein is located on Querkelsteinweg and is part of a kind of small rock labyrinth with several rock shapes.
