Erdbeertempel, Monopteros in Bad Pyrmont, Germany.
The Erdbeertempel is a circular temple with columns located in the Kurpark gardens of Bad Pyrmont. The round design allows visitors to see the landscaped grounds from multiple viewpoints as they walk around it.
The first temple was built between 1786 and 1790 and remodelled in 1802; its present form dates from a redesign in 1910. It replaced a memorial to a Dutchwoman, Frau Fagel, who died on 15 July 1781 after eating strawberries and then drinking from the spring during her cure.
The name comes from the Dutchwoman Frau Fagel, who died on 15 July 1781 after eating strawberries and then drinking from the spring during her cure in Bad Pyrmont. A memorial once stood here before the temple was built; the strawberry in the name recalls that event, not regional fruit growing.
The temple can be reached through several walking paths in the Kurpark and is accessible from all sides. Cyclists can use the surrounding routes, though the paths leading directly to it are mainly for pedestrians.
Before the temple was built, a memorial here commemorated the Dutchwoman Frau Fagel, who died on 15 July 1781 after eating strawberries during her cure and then drinking from the spring. The present name keeps that story alive.
