Dreifrankenstein, Territorial marker at intersection of Upper, Middle, and Lower Franconia regions, Germany.

The Dreifrankenstein consists of two boundary stones, with the newer one standing 280 centimeters tall and made from limestone with regional coats of arms.

The original marker was placed in 1892, but territorial reforms in 1972 required a new stone to be installed seven kilometers away in 1979.

The stones represent the meeting point of three Franconian administrative districts, each with its own regional identity and traditions within Bavaria.

Information panels near the site provide details about the three Franconian districts and neighboring counties, with benches available for visitors to rest.

The area features two distinct markers, with the older sandstone pillar measuring 135 centimeters and the newer limestone boulder reaching 280 centimeters in height.
