Krinitzgrab, Memorial monument in Großer Zschand, Germany.

The Krinitzgrab is a stone memorial located at the upper end of Richterschlüchte near Großer Winterberg in Saxon Switzerland. The monument sits in this mountainous landscape with its steep slopes and dense forests.

The memorial commemorates a student who disappeared in 1908 during a hike and whose body was found one year later in difficult terrain. The site became his burial place because the mountainous conditions made transport impossible.

The gravestone bears an inscription placed by Krinitz's parents; the exact wording is recorded in the source. Since its survival the stone has been adopted as a waymark on maps of the area, and hikers use it to orient themselves at the upper end of the Richterschlüchte.

The site can be reached by hiking trails and sits near other popular paths in the Elbsandsteingebirge region. Visitors should come with sturdy footwear and caution, as the area is steep and heavily forested.

The stone's inscription, quoted in the sources, is a couplet: "Wanderer, der du hier vorübergehst, bedenke, dass du sterben musst." The grave also became a waymark on maps of the area, and a hurdy-gurdy player from Herrnskretschen is said to have confessed to the killing on his deathbed.
