The column commemorates Landgrave Friedrich II of Hesse-Homburg, the founder and namesake of the city. It was originally a border column and stood on the border to the Duchy of Nassau north of the Saalburg. Between 1825 and 1827 a total of ten such columns were made from Villmar marble by prisoners in the Diez prison. After the annexation of Nassau by Prussia in 1866, these border pillars were no longer needed. It was therefore auctioned off in 1872. The column, now with the landgrave's bust, was erected at the Schnepfenburg on Sedantag 1873. Before that, it had to be reworked slightly: the inscription "Duchy of Nassau" was replaced by the new inscription, the Nassau lion received a second tail, a shorter head and a crown and thus turned into a Hessian lion. In 1937 it was moved to Hugenottenstraße 78 and in 1984 to its present location at Landgrafenplatz.
