Here's a breakdown of the term:
* Schützenfest: A traditional German festival where marksmen (Schützen) compete in shooting competitions. It's often a large, multi-day event with parades, music, and festivities.
* Stein: German for "stone"
Therefore, a Schützenfestenstein is a stone that commemorates a specific Schützenfest event. It might have the date of the festival, the names of winners, or other relevant information inscribed on it.
It's similar to a historical marker, but specifically related to the tradition of Schützenfest.
