    The monument was built between 1911 and 1912 on the initiative of the Thuringian Forest Association Gehren. The basic idea was to honor the deceased sovereign Karl Günther von Schwarzburg - Sondershausen, who often stayed with his wife Marie in Gehren Castle, which belonged to the sovereign.

    The current statue has been on the base of the monument again since August 2010. It consists of painted plaster.
