Rüdenstein, Architectural heritage monument in Leichlingen, Germany
The Rüdenstein monument stands at the border between Leichlingen and Solingen, near the Solinger Hofschaft Obenrüden settlement in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The monument was unveiled on Ascension Day, May 26, 1927, with over 1000 guests attending the ceremony accompanied by the Solingen City Band.
Metal artist F. Otto Hoppe from Solingen designed the monument, while the dog figure was created by the Elberfeld company Pollmann & Stupp using artificial stone.
The monument underwent several renovations in 1950, 1972, and 1994 to preserve its structure from weather damage and maintain its historical features.
According to local tales, in 1424, a young Duke Robert von Berg was saved by his loyal hunting dog during a dangerous winter hunting expedition.
