Goethestein, Tetrahedron monument in Frauenstein district, Wiesbaden, Germany.
The Goethestein stands on the southeast slope of Spitzen Stein at 230 meters above sea level, offering views over Frauenstein and the Rhine River.
In 1932, local authorities constructed this stone monument near Hof Nürnberg to mark the location where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe conducted geological studies in 1815.
The monument takes the form of a tetrahedron built on an equilateral triangle base, representing Goethe's desire to elevate human achievement through science and art.
Multiple hiking paths, including the Rheinsteig trail, lead visitors from both Frauenstein and Wiesbaden to this observation point above the Rheingau vineyards.
From the monument's terrace, visitors observe landmarks such as Haus Himmelreich in Dotzheim, Grorother Hof, and the Lindenbach valley across the Rhine landscape.
