Ehmsendenkmal, Memorial monument in Arnsberg, Germany

The Ehmsendenkmal is a pavilion-like domed structure about 8 metres tall, standing on a rocky outcrop on the eastern side of the Eichholz in Arnsberg. Its front face carries a depiction of Ernst Ehmsen and a gold inscription naming the SGV as its founder, with the years 1891 and 1897.

A mountain hiking organization built this memorial in 1897 to honor the founder of the group established in 1891. The structure came into existence during a period when such monuments were becoming common ways to mark organizational identity.

The structure displays a golden inscription and depicts Ehmsen on its front face. These markings serve as a visual reminder of a key figure in local forestry and regional organizations.

The site is accessible via hiking trails and makes for a convenient stop during walks in the region. It remains open year-round and sits along well-marked paths in the area.

The structure is locally nicknamed the 'Whispering House' because its interior creates special acoustic effects. Visitors can experience this surprising sound quality themselves when standing inside.
