König-Konrad-Denkmal, Cultural heritage monument at Bodenstein rock, Villmar, Germany.

König-Konrad-Denkmal is a sandstone statue positioned on a Lahnmarmor pedestal above the Lahn River at Bodenstein rock. The figure stands on a base inscribed with text that marks the monument's purpose and the ruler it commemorates.

Ludwig Bindewald, district administrator of Oberlahnkreis, launched the project with sculptor Ludwig Cauer, who waived his studio fees on an estimated 10,000 Mark cost. After Bindewald died in June 1893 and Weilburg withdrew support, Dean Johannes Ibach of Villmar took over. The roughly 7,000 Mark monument was unveiled on the Bodenstein on 10 June 1894.

The base inscription records that Konrad I, German king and count of the Lahngau, handed crown and rule to Heinrich of Saxony as he lay dying, in care for the security and power of the realm. The statue, made of Belgian sandstone, shows him in the gesture of that transfer. The monument is regarded as a landmark of the district and as evidence of 19th-century imperial-era cultivation of history.

The monument is reached by hiking trails from Villmar and provides views across the Lahn landscape. Expect uneven paths and sloped terrain, especially in wet conditions.

The original plan called for a 5-metre monument in front of Weilburg's Landtor, but the town council rejected that site after Justizrat Daniel Rath objected. After sponsor Ludwig Bindewald died in June 1893, Dean Johannes Ibach moved the project to Villmar, where it was unveiled on 10 June 1894 for about 7,000 marks.
