    Memorial plaque with the following inscription: "Ludwigswinkel was founded in 1783 by Landgrave Ludwig IX of Hesse-Darmstadt [*1719; +1790], legal successor to the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg." During the Nazi era, another memorial stone stood here. "The rededication of the square was an act of local coming to terms with the past and a return to the true benefactor of his country's children. During his reign, he kept them out of wars and protected them from their dire consequences." Source (partly quoted verbatim): ludwigswinkel.de/pdf/19-landgrafendenkmal.pdf
