The Tote-Mann-Stein is a historical boundary stone from 1570 and is considered the oldest boundary stone in the Ettlingen district. It stands in the Albtal near Fischweier, features a relief of a skeleton and an hourglass, and bears the inscription: "VON ALTERS HER ZVM TOTTEM MANN WARDT ICH VON DER STADT ETTLINGEN GNANT". The stone at this location is a copy, while the original is housed in the Albgaumuseum in Ettlingen. Two information boards on site provide further background information.
