Menhir von Martinshöhe, Prehistoric stone monument in Martinshöhe, Germany.

The red sandstone menhir measures 250 centimeters in height, 100 centimeters in width, and 60 centimeters in depth, featuring vertical erosion channels.

The stone originally stood at twice its current height on Rösberg near Langwieden before being relocated multiple times, reaching its present location in the 1940s.

Local residents know this ancient monument by several names including Römerstein, Gollenstein, and 'S Theiße Stään, reflecting its integration into community heritage.

The menhir stands in a small park near the intersection of Am Wasserturm and Zweibrücker streets, next to a war memorial and water tower.

According to historical records, the stone once bore the inscription 'SPQR', leading to its Roman stone designation, though these markings are no longer visible.
