A memorial stone erected on the occasion of the 90th birthday of Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. Next to the memorial stone stands an oak tree planted on that day. From here, a path leads to the Weißenberg hill where the Luitpold Tower stands. Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria was born on March 12, 1821, the fifth child of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Before assuming power on June 9, 1886, he rose through the ranks of the army to become Inspector General. During his twenty-five-year reign, the Kingdom of Bavaria experienced a golden age. The Palatinate belonged to Bavaria from 1816 to 1949. In honor of the Prince Regent, streets, theaters, parks, schools, observation towers, and even cakes were named after him. For example, Prinzregentenstraße, Prinzenweg (see Rittersteine No. 41), Prinzregententheater, Luitpoldpark, Luitpoldturm and the Prinzregententorte. He died on December 12, 1912.

In front of the large entrance steps of the Protestant church, on the right, stands a large, martial-looking war memorial from 1938 (initially planned only for the fallen of the First World War; later, however, it was also intended for all victims of the Second World War).

Knight's Stone "Prince Regent Luitpold, 90 Years Old, March 12, 1911" near Hermersbergerhof Knight's Stone No. 70 The Knight's Stone "Prince Regent Luitpold, 90 Years Old, March 12, 1911" (Knight's Stone No. 70) is located on the forest road between Hermersbergerhof and Weißenberg. The PWV markings "Blue-White Line," "Blue Cross," and "Blue-Red Line" lead past the Knight's Stone. "Prince Regent Luitpold, 12 March 1911, 90 Years Old" is a Knight's Stone from the category "Honors of Personalities." Knight's Stones in this category are intended to honor individuals who have rendered outstanding services to the Palatinate or the Palatinate Forest (according to Eitelmann 2005). The Knight's Stone was erected in honor of the 90th birthday of Prince Regent Luitpold Karl Joseph Wilhelm of Bavaria on March 12, 1911 (1821-1912). An oak tree was planted next to the Knight's Stone on the same day. Even as a young man, Prince Regent Luitpold served as a soldier in the army and later in all ranks of the service, up to Inspector General. He witnessed the consecration ceremony in 1871, when King Wilhelm of Prussia was awarded the imperial title of the new German Empire. In 1886, his nephew, King Ludwig II, was deposed from his office as King of Bavaria. When he drowned in Lake Starnberg a few days later, Prince Regent Luitpold assumed his office at the age of 65 (Eitelmann 2005, pp. 65/66). "Formally, Ludwig's brother Otto was proclaimed King of Bavaria, but since he was mentally ill and thus incapable of governing, Luitpold took over the office." (hdgb.eu, October 20, 2020). At the beginning of Luitpold's reign, he was suspected of being responsible for his nephew's death, which is why he was initially unpopular with the people. Until his death, he brought Bavaria years of peace through his political restraint, modesty, efficiency, and popular appeal. "With the dutiful "exercise" of his representative role, with With his popular appeal and friendliness, the Prince Regent quickly won over the population..." (hdgb.eu, October 20, 2020). The Ritterstein is an upright, almost rectangular sandstone boulder. It bears the inscription: PRINZREGENT / LUITPOLD / 12. MARCH 1911 / 90 YEARS OLD. At the bottom right is the abbreviation P. W. V. for Pfälzerwald-Verein (Palatinate Forest Association). Source: https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-279008
