Ludwigsdenkmal, Monument to Grand Duke Ludwig IV in Worms, Germany.
The Ludwigsdenkmal features a 24-meter obelisk rising from a fountain basin, with stone lions flanking symmetrical staircases on both sides.
The monument, constructed in 1895, honors Grand Duke Ludwig IV's military leadership of Hessian troops during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871.
The monument marks the transformation of a military parade ground into an ornamental public space with architectural elements designed by Karl Hofmann.
The Ludwigsdenkmal stands in Ludwigsplatz, where an underground parking facility was integrated during the 1975 renovation of the square.
Two carved stone lions guard the monument's stairways, while a gargoyle adorns the pedestal beneath the central obelisk structure.
