This ice aged erratic rock carries some horse shoe marks, and also, some crosses are engraved. A local mushroom seeker reminded upon the tale of the Nuremberg robber, who escaped from strangulation through a venturous jump of his horse, a story that repeated here.

From Scandinavia in the Würm ice age much coarse boulder was shifted into northern Germany. Later on, many of them became dolmens and passage graves. Even more have been utilized for modern street building. I have collected some of the really big and well known ones to show them here. Whether those erratic blocks have had cult status, is difficult to examine. The southern German standing stones are easier to identify, because they are much more rare, or the original locations are astronomically extraordinary.
