Geleitstein zwischen Frieda und Großtöpfer, Heritage boundary stone between Frieda and Großtöpfer, Germany
The cylindrical stone column with a cubic top measures 184 centimeters in height and features the Hessian lion coat of arms on its western side.
The boundary marker was initially erected around 1540, then replaced in 1731 to define the territorial limits between the Landgraviate of Hesse and neighboring regions.
This stone pillar served to regulate protective escort services and marked the endpoint where guards from the Hessian Landgraviate would accompany travelers through their territory.
The monument stands near the L3467 road at the border between Hesse and Thuringia, accessible from a nearby parking area.
The stone contains specific markings including the year 1731 on its north face and remains the only known escort boundary stone in the state of Hesse.
