    This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association.
    However, at first glance it is hardly recognizable as a knight's stone (no golden yellow inscription, no PWV abbreviation), as this is the original gravestone of Friedrich Bender (1869 - 1932), who was moved here from the Edenkoben cemetery to the Bender stone in 1984. Placed and set up.
    The inscription reads: "Friedrich Bender / senior teacher / born August 21, 1869 / died November 24, 1932 / founder of the Palatinate Forest Association Edenkoben".

    There is a nice place to rest at Benderplatz near the Ritterstein. Many paths come together.

    Nice hut on Benderplatz, opposite table and benches and PWV-Ritterstein No. 241 from the co-founder of PWV Friedrich Bender.
