Facts and practical information

The Lapidarium Willrode is a collection of historical boundary and district stones on the grounds of the Willroda forester's lodge near the Thuringian capital Erfurt.Since 2009, an exhibition of Thuringian boundary stones has been set up on the western courtyard side of the property. The exhibitor is the Thuringian regional association of the DVW - Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management. There are currently about thirteen boundary and district stones with well-labeled explanatory plaques. The collection presents markings of the outer borders of historical territories. Initials at the head of the stones or their coat of arms indicate the respective sovereignty. For example, "KP" stands for the Kingdom of Prussia, while "HG" refers to the Duchy of Gotha. Other gearkungssteine show the initials of the gearkung or the consecutive numbering.
