Der Weserstein, Quelle: Wikipedia.org |
Wo Werra sich und Fulda küssen
Sie ihre Namen büssen müssen,Und hier entsteht durch diesen Kuss
Deutsch bis zum Meer der Weser Fluss.

The (old) Weser stone is a memorial stone that was put up on September 2nd, 1899, pointing out the beginning of the river Weser. The highly symbolic date of the Sedan day [note: Battle of Sedan, Sep. 2nd, 1870] matches the patriotic fourth line of the inscription:
"Where Werra and Fulda do kiss
and they forfeit their names,
here a riveris created by this kiss,
german up to the ocean the river Weser."
[note: literally translated poem]
