Napoleon's Column

Steinweiler was first created in 968 and was officially given the name "Steinweiler" in 1585. [2] The oldest house in the village dates back to 1724; some others were built in the 1780s and 1790s. There is a column called the "Napoleon's Column" which was erected because Napoleon is said to have walked through this area.
