The group of figures on the monumental boulder, depicting a man and a woman, was created between 20 BCE and 50 CE at the time of the Roman empiror Octavian. One of the figures depicted has no head. It is said locally that “the evil woman has cut the man’s head off.” The boulder is an old, prehistoric cultic and sacrifical sit, attested to by the ground out depressions and traces. The group of figures was mentioned by the Roman historian Tacitus in his writings on the Treverer. Historical research has revealed that these are a Gaelic landholder and his wife, whose home was located below the forest. He used the ancient cultic site as a grave marker and had himself and his wife immortalized in the form of a scultpure chisled into the boulder. The rectangular depression on top of the boulder served to hold urns Even Victor Hugo was inspired by this mysterious cultic site and mentioned it in his novel “L’homme qui rit”.
