A monument in the form of an obelisk was erected to Baron Lambert von Babo, an important pioneer of modern agriculture in the Baden-Palatinate region. Baron von Babo is also the founder of the nearby Hermannshof, built the manor house there and laid out the park.
Lambert Joseph Leopold Reichsfreiherr von Babo - his full name - was born in Mannheim in 1790 and died in Weinheim in 1862. His grave is in the local cemetery.
The obelisk, erected in 1869, first stood at the old post office before it had to make way for a new road and was moved here to the edge of the city garden in 1912.

On October 10, 1869, more than 150 years ago, a four meter high granite obelisk was unveiled on the so-called Galgenbuckel - the hilly green area between the bus station and the OEG bridge, on which the gallows once stood as a symbol of municipal jurisdiction: the Monument to Lambert Freiherr von Babo (1790-1862) in the Stadtgarten today. He was the founder of the Hermannshof, enlightener and pioneer of modern agriculture in the Baden-Palatinate region, vine collector and viticulture teacher, author of 22 scientific books and writings on agricultural and wine-growing topics, copperplate engraver, etcher and porcelain painter, who captured the old Weinheim in beautiful engravings Has.
