Hoher Stein, Boundary marker at state border between Bavaria and Hesse, Germany
Located on a 281-meter-high border mountain, this stone marker stands where the districts of Wald-Amorbach, Hainstadt, and Mömlingen meet at a sandstone ridge point.
The stone was placed in 1668 to mark the boundaries between three territories: Electoral Mainz, the Breuberg Lordship, and the Condominium of Umstadt.
The monument displays different coats of arms, including those of the Archbishop of Mainz Johann Philipp von Schönborn on its eastern side and Electoral Palatinate on its western part.
Several hiking trails lead to this boundary marker, which remains an important reference point for current administrative borders between German federal states.
Next to the main stone stands a smaller marker commemorating the changes during the Napoleonic Wars, featuring the Mainz wheel and letters indicating the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt.
