The Goethe Stone near the Wiesbaden district of Frauenstein is a tetrahedron erected in 1932 to commemorate Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's stay at this location. The Goethe Stone, erected in 1932 in Frauenstein On the southeastern slope of the Spitzen Stein, a 254.5-meter-high hill in the Rheingau Mountains southeast of the Frauenstein castle ruins, sits the Hof Nürnberg, a popular restaurant and winery offering a good view of the Rhine and the Rheingau region with its vineyards. In 1815, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stopped here during his second visit to Wiesbaden to conduct geological studies. In 1932, a monument was erected in his honor next to the Hof Nürnberg, high above the vineyards at an elevation of 230 meters above sea level, overlooking Frauenstein, Walluf, and the Mainz side of the Rhine: the so-called Goethe Stone, a tetrahedron built from rectangular blocks on the base of an equilateral triangle, its soaring apex reminiscent of an obelisk.

The first stone enclosure of the spring, serving as a drinking fountain, was built in 1823. It was open and enclosed by a 1.6-meter-high wall. Access for non-spa guests was blocked from then on. This led to protests at the time. Later, the unprotected spring was criticized, so a metal grate was placed over it (the so-called "Cheese Dome"). The current Kochbrunnen Pavilion was built in 1887/88 as part of the magnificent spa complex and stood at the end of the drinking hall. A staircase led down from the hall to the bubbling spring, from which the fountain maids filled glass jugs to serve the healing water to the spa guests in glasses. Seven decorative grilles closed off the temple, which visitors could peek into. However, it was only accessible through the drinking hall. After the war, in April 1952, the operators, as they had already done in 1937, established a new serving area in the fountain colonnade at Bowling Green. The 129-meter-long colonnade was fully glazed. The drinking hall, the portal, and the open section of the promenade were demolished in July 1955. The following year, the spa administration removed the ornate domed roof and replaced it with a simple sloping one. The Kochbrunnen fountain was inaugurated in December 1970. In 1976/77, the pavilion was relocated and renovated; at the same time, three of the seven ornate grilles had to be reconstructed. One original grille was preserved, and the roof was rebuilt, somewhat simplified, as an octagonal dome. The bubbling spring was closed, and a residual amount of water now flows through a four-armed, curved spout into a stone basin. The temple has since been accessible from four sides.

The vantage point offers a fantastic view over the Rhine plain, the Rheingau region, and the surrounding vineyards. 🍇Erected in 1932 in honor of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the striking tetrahedron commemorates his spa stay in Wiesbaden in 1815. At that time, Goethe wandered through the vineyards and returned to this place again and again – fascinated by the landscape and its geological features.
