To get to the obelisk it is rather difficult seen from the Forellengut. Here it is more likely to dismount and push announced.

The obelisk, made of Wertheim sandstone, was commissioned by Hereditary Prince Friedrich Joseph on the occasion of the golden wedding anniversary of his parents Friedrich V. and Caroline by the Frankfurt city master builder J.F.C. Hess made in 1818/19. It was originally intended to form the center of a small complex at the intersection of Kreuzallee and Mittelstedter Weg. However, this plan was not implemented and the obelisk was erected around 1825 at the obelisk corridor on the Sangeberg.

Friedrich V. had already considered the forest to the west of the Landgravial Gardens as a largely natural extension of the park. He had interspersed some buildings for edification, such as a farmhouse and a "Temple of Quiet Virtue" (1783); these no longer exist today. The obelisk is still there, albeit covered in moss and overgrown, near the trout estate that Friedrich V. and his wife Karoline von Hessen-Darmstadt received from their children in 1818 for their golden wedding anniversary. The obelisk path - access to the Forellengut - was named after him.
