The 2.5 m high Menhir is probably from the Neolithic period (about 400 to 1700 BC).
The menhir was discovered in 1927 during clearing work on the southeast slope of a survey at Dittelsheim-Hessloch on the "Am Weißstein" at a depth of 80 cm and 100 m away from it erected again. Here he was probably buried in the late Middle Ages, but his name had been preserved as a field name. Whether he originally, as also many other menhirs, used as a landmark, is unclear.
It has a height of 210 cm, a width of 145 cm and a depth of 80 cm.
