Copy of the Eider Stone as a metal plate in brass, 130×85 mm, with an eye on the back, made for the benefit of youth work in Southern Schleswig at the time of the Reunification

The Eiderstone is a tablet that was placed around 1670 over Rendsborg's city gate towards Holsten (Holsten's Gate). The tablet bears the Latin inscription Eidora. Romani Terminus Imperii (≈Ejderen. Border of the Roman Empire). The purpose was to mark that the Danish border lay here at the river Eider between the duchies of Schleswig (or South Jutland) and Holsten. Schleswig was then a Danish fiefdom, Holsten a Holy Roman fiefdom. The city of Rendsborg itself was located on an island in the Eider. The stone was taken down in 1806, when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved. The Eiderstone can today be found at the “Tøjhusmuseet” in Copenhagen.
