Dreibannstein at the Deichelsbrücke
The Deichelsbrücke is a bridge to overcome the valley cut into which dykes (water pipes made from tree trunks that have been pierced in their longitudinal direction) were placed. It was built in 1845 by the mine administration. A Dreibannstein marks the meeting point of three borders. This Dreibannstein was set in 1757. The borders of the Hülzweiler Bann (at that time Lorraine), the Schwarzenholzer Bann (then immediate Reichsbann) and the Schwalbacher Bann (then belonging to the County of Nassau-Saarbrücken) met at this point. The stone standing here is approx. 80 cm high, measures approx. 40 cm square and is one of the most beautiful in the area. On the north side it shows the Lorraine double keuz: on this side was the Hülzweiler ban. On the south side it shows the Wolfsangel, the symbol of Nassau-Saarbrücken, there was the Schwalbacher ban. The serial number is also stamped here. On the east side, the year of the installation and a sign that cannot be specified is stamped, this was the Schwarzenholzer ban. The west side is free. The top surface shows two notches (wise men) that show the boundary. Source: Text: Schwalbach municipality
