This obelisk commemorates the Württemberg Queen Katharina Pavlovna Romanowa. She lived from 1788 to 1819 and was the daughter of the Russian Tsar Paul. She came to Stuttgart as the wife of King Wilhelm I of Württemberg, whom she married again in 1816. Due to the bad harvests and famines at that time, she founded the "Central Charity Association". The Katharinenstift and the Katharinenhospital in Stuttgart still bear her name.
The burial chapel on Mount Württemberg was built as a mausoleum by King Wilhelm I for Catherine.
The obelisk here in Hohenheim was made by Markus Wolf in 2008.
