Hajener Hungerstein, Natural monument in Emmerthal, Germany
The sandstone Hajener Hungerstein marks low water levels in the Weser River, measuring 1.5 by 1.8 meters with a height of 0.8 meters.
Multiple dates carved into the stone, from 1947 to 1991, document periods of severe drought when water levels in the Weser River decreased significantly.
The stone carries inscriptions of years and initials, serving as a communal record of water scarcity that influenced local agricultural and social patterns.
Visitors can observe the stone at the western bank of the Weser River at kilometer 119.7 when the water level drops below 1.18 meters.
After mysteriously disappearing in August 1996, the stone was later rediscovered during dredging operations and returned to its original location.
