Gedenktafeln am Riesensteinweg, Commemorative plaques at Riesensteinweg, Heidelberg, Germany

Two stone memorial plaques mounted on a retaining wall along Riesensteinweg feature inscriptions that document significant events from 1934.

The plaques were installed by the Reich Labor Service on August 3, 1934, marking both President Hindenburg's death and emergency labor projects.

The memorial stones reflect German commemorative traditions, with one plaque showing evidence of post-war modification where a political symbol was removed.

Located on Gaisberg Mountain below Johannes-Hoops-Weg, visitors can access the plaques via a 500-meter pathway that ends in undergrowth.

The plaques stand near an abandoned sandstone quarry where centuries of stone extraction provided materials for numerous Heidelberg buildings.
