The two paths that lead to the monument were once the bridle paths of the lords of the castle. Irmgard von Stollberg had this monument with the heraldic animal of Stolberg reached after a heavy blow.
She lost father and husband within 4 days.

The stag is the heraldic animal of the Princes of Stolberg and the town at the foot of their castle. He was depicted on their seals and coins and was to receive another honor at the beginning of the 20th century: in April 1911, the Harz Club near Stolberg erected a monument for this forest dweller.
If you follow Hirschallee coming from Stolberger Schloß, you will reach the deer monument after about a kilometer walk. A bench along the way also invites you to take a little break.

Nice place and rest area. The standing on a pedestal black deer made of bronze is the heraldic animal of the city of Stolberg and the Prince of Stolberg.
