Tetzelstein, Cultural heritage monument in Am Großen Rhode, Germany.
The eight-meter-tall monument made of light yellow Elm limestone stands in a forest clearing at an elevation of 300 meters above sea level.
The stone was first documented in 1676 and marks the location where, according to legend, the indulgence preacher Johann Tetzel was allegedly robbed in the 16th century.
Archaeological investigations suggest the forest clearing where the stone stands might have been an early historical place of worship or gathering space.
The memorial stone features an information board and serves as a starting point for numerous hiking trails through the Elm-Lappwald nature park.
The site includes both the original memorial stone from 1676 and a neo-Gothic monument erected in 1846, which visitors often mistake for each other.
