    At the end of Wilhelminenstrasse, you'll find the Alice Obelisk, which stands in front of the portico of St. Ludwig's Church. Unsurprisingly, in Darmstadt, it's richly decorated with Art Nouveau ornaments!

      The Alice Monument, also known as the Alice Obelisk, is a monument in Darmstadt. It stands north of the Catholic main church of St. Ludwig and commemorates Grand Duchess Alice. The Alice monument was erected in 1902 based on a joint design by the sculptor Ludwig Habich and the architect Adolf Zeller. Stylistically, the monument belongs to Art Nouveau.

        The pedestrian zone ends at the obelisk and you can directly reach St. Ludwig's Church.

          Beautifully decorated obelisk at the end of the pedestrian zone. It's worth taking a closer look!

            Embeds wonderfully in the environment with the state theater, Mollerhaus, faith reactor, etc.

              The Alice Monument was erected in 1902 according to a joint design by the sculptor Ludwig Habich and the architect Adolf Zeller. Stylistically, the monument belongs to the Art Nouveau style. The base of the monument is made of granite, with small, semicircular pools of water with gargoyles on two sides. Above this rises an obelisk of Enville limestone with four larger-than-life figures of girls at its lower edges. Between the figures are stylized tree trunks, their branches forming foliage above the girls' heads. Above this, the obelisk is devoid of further sculptural decoration. On the front of the monument, between the girls' heads, is a gilded bronze relief depicting Grand Duchess Alice.
