Historic is not a synonym for old, or disused, or even historical. Historic means that something is of note or importance. Napoleon's loss at Waterloo was a historic battle; Napoleon's loss in the school playground when he was 12 may be of historical interest but it was not a historic fight. In any case, I see no reason why stones such as these might not be added today, or replaced, which would mean they weren't even old, let alone historic. And if none of that persuades you, the historic=* tag is treated specially by the Historic Places map and is given special emphasis. It would get very cluttered if these stones were classed as historic. See, for example, http://gk.historic.place/historische_objekte/l/en/index.html?zoom=16&lat=51.34027&lon=12.3893&detail=3&pid=HaHbHcSaHe If you have one of these stones where some important person wrecked his carriage against it and that influenced subsequent events, that might count as historic. Otherwise it's just old. -- Paul
