Lost and forgotten, then rediscovered. Grenzstein 17 KS/KP stands as a silent witness. It whispers tales of a divided past. Grenzstein 17 KS/KP isn’t just a stone. It’s a granite obelisk, a pyramidal marker of a boundary. This boundary once separated the Kingdom of Saxony and the Kingdom of Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The inscription “17” marks its place in a series of boundary stones. Grenzstein 17 KS/KP originally stood at N 51°04.864 E14°57.281. This location now lies submerged beneath the waters of the Berzdorfer See. The stone was moved and re-erected in the woods southwest of its original site. It stands as a tangible reminder of the shifting landscapes, both political and geographical. Grenzstein 17 KS/KP offers a glimpse into a time of empires. It silently observes the present, connecting us to a history that continues to shape the world around us.
