A cast-iron plaque at this spot originally commemorated the last wolf in Dreieich, bearing the inscription: "Here, in 1784, the Princely Isenburg-Birstein Forester Siebenlist shot the last wolf." In the hyperinflation of 1923, the memorial plaque was stolen and replaced in 1933 by a new wooden monument, which was then badly damaged by vandals in 1991. Although the Wolfsstock (Wolf's Stick) is located within the Dreieich municipal boundaries, a support group was formed at the initiative of the Dietzenbach Senior Citizens' Advisory Board. This group campaigned for the monument's restoration and collected donations.

The boulder bears the inscription "WOLFSSTOCK," the image of a wolf's head, and the date November 26, 1784.
