      The lion monument was created around the turn of the century 1900 by the sculptor Ludwig Habich.

        Excerpt from the description of the monuments of Hesse:

        What is remarkable is the unusually subtle design for the time it was created and the symbolism of the Hesse lion that had previously only been used very sporadically in memorial stones commemorating the 1870/71 war.
