Stamped location 177 / Alexisbad engagement urn

The engagement urn was erected on the Habichtstein high above Alexisbad in 1845/1846 by a group of Württemberg noblemen.

It was inten­ded to com­me­mo­ra­te a care­free stay of young noble­men in Sep­tem­ber 1845. One of them was a Prin­ce of Hohen­lo­he-Oerin­gen, in who­se foundry the exhi­bit was cast. The monu­ment is popu­lar­ly refer­red to as an enga­ge­ment urn, as the­re was spe­cu­la­ti­on about the reason for its erection. 

From Alexis­bad, you can reach the enga­ge­ment urn from the cen­ter of the vil­la­ge via the sign­pos­ted hiking trail and con­ti­nue the tour via the cliff path to the Köthe­ner Hüt­te HWN 195.
