    The Friendship Temple at the upper end of the Herrenwiese was a simple round temple built by the two princes Ludwig and Emil for their mother, Grand Duchess Luise, in 1824. The dome, crowned with a golden cone, rested on eight wooden pillars. The architrave bore the inscription: "In childlike love - February 18, 1824 Ludwig and Emil". However, like several other buildings in the Fürstenlager, the temple had to be demolished due to dilapidation. It was replaced by the Ivy Temple, built in 1871. During the spring storms of 1990, however, falling trees destroyed the structure, so that this pavilion also had to be removed.

    In 1999, the Friendship Temple was reconstructed in its original form as a delicate monopteros and has adorned the upper end of the Herrenwiese ever since.
