The Staufer stele has stood in front of the entrance gate to Ellwangen Castle since 2012, which dates back to a castle built around 1200 by Abbot Kuno I. The stele was created by the Stuttgart sculptor Markus Wolf. His workshop also produced the other Staufer steles, which are located in authentic locations to commemorate the Staufers, who were German kings and emperors in the High Middle Ages. There are currently 39 of these octagonal memorial stones. The first Staufer stele was inaugurated on December 13, 2000, the 750th anniversary of the death of the last Staufer emperor, Frederick II, in the ruins of Castel Fiorentino in Italy.
