The menhirs date from prehistoric times. Of the originally larger number, three have survived, of which the "Hinkelstein" still stands near its former location at the southern end of the town, while the other two, the "Dicke Stein" and the "Spitze Stein", have been removed from their original location in the course of land consolidation are now located near the Wiesbachbrücke on a property on Bahnhofstrasse. The "Dicke Stein" has been erected again, the "Spitze Stein", which has been smashed into two pieces, is a few meters further. A documentation created in connection with the re-erection of the "Dicker Stein" summarizes the current state of knowledge about the Armsheim menhirs.
