Six metres of stone climb toward heaven. This monolith anchors the Baden-Württemberg scenery south of Hemmingen.
It honors Kaiser Wilhelm I visiting Hemmingen Castle during 1885. That royal visit crystallized into solid rock, unveiled in 1889.
Today, the Kaiserstein rests within the terrain. It is one of the highest memorial stones in Baden-Württemberg.
