A memorial park to racing driver Bernd Rosemeyer, roughly where his car left the road due to wind gusts, during a January 28, 1938 record-breaking attempt on the Frankfurt/Darmstadt Autobahn, in his Auto Union Grand Prix car.

On the south-bound exit of a rest area on the western lane, named Bernd-Rosemeyer-Parkplatz, a sign indicates that the Bernd-Rosemeyer-Denkmal is 70 meters away. It used to be hidden in bushes which are removed now, and is apparently visited frequently as a foot path, or foot prints in snow, lead there.
