These kind of marker stones are typical for the Heidelberg area. Installation began at the end of the 19th century.
There are (now) 770 pieces that are individually mapped and can be accessed via the online city map of Heidelberg. They were last restored between 2009 and 2016 with the help of many volunteers.

Arboretum I in the Heidelberg city forest (Sequoias)

Highlight • Forest

Sequoias and a totem pole. Coming from the top parking lot (Gaiberger Weg, next to the log cabin at the rhododendron enclosure), following the path to the left into the forest, you will find a plaza that shows the perimeter of the largest sequoia tree in North America. By contrast, the trees here are really small. This is impressive!
A few steps away there is a refuge, and a plaque commemorates the siege of Heidelberg in the Thirty Years' War in 1622 by the Catholic League under the general Tilly, who occupied the city in September.

Giant Sequoias in Heidelberg City Forest

Highlight • Forest

The sequoias are very impressive. A small tour through the trees is worthwhile all times. And very important, look up into the branches. So nice that these trees are there! And right next door ... The Rhododendrongarten.
