According to the information panel: "At this spot, right next to the Scheuweg, legend has it that about 200 years ago, the maiden Beate was murdered on the road from Kössern to Seidewitz. She was returning from a christening in Kössern, accompanied by a family friend, but was ambushed here by her jealous fiancé and ultimately killed. Even after more than 200 years, her grave refuses to decay, seemingly out of sheer innocence."

According to the information panel: "On the large hill now occupied by houses, a settlement whose name is no longer known stood until the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The plague devastated the village. Presumably, the remains of the foundation walls are those of a small church, whose floor plan suggests a larger building for a settlement of that time. Today, this former forest chapel is used for quiet contemplation in nature, for small devotional services, and frequently for the Ascension Day service of the parishes of Leipnitz, Dürrweitzschen, Sitten, Polditz, Bockelwitz, and Zschoppach..."

This stone was unearthed by Young Pioneers and members of the Free German Youth (FDJ) around 1960 and transported to Sion. There, the monolith was placed in the schoolyard and adorned with a Thälmann plaque. In 1989, local historians retrieved the stone and re-erected it in its original location.

The names of the foresters who, together with their forest workers, transformed the heathland into a commercial forest are carved into this stone.

According to the information panel on site: "This stone was uncovered in 1987 during road construction work on the second clearing. The stone shows signs of human workmanship from the pre-settlement period. With the help of a small specialized forestry tractor equipped with a dozer blade and winch, the stone was recovered and placed here, selected by head forester G. Heinrich, local historian Mr. Kirsten, and Mr. Unteidig from the lower monument preservation authority. In 1994, on the occasion of the founding of the municipality of Thümmlitzwalde, local historian Walter Naumann was honored with a commemorative plaque for his many years of work researching local history."

According to the information panel on site: "Partially completed millstone belonging to the stonemason Haferkorn, who produced millstones in the local quarries until 1809. He lived in Böhlen and rented a room in Zollschwitz where he produced counterfeit money. His accomplice, Mrs. Kretzschmar, distributed the counterfeit money. The police were alerted to his shady dealings by the miller from Böhlen. On December 5th, Haferkorn was forced to stand bound at the pillory in Böhlen. He was sentenced to 10 years in the Waldheim penitentiary."
