Framed Print of Commemorative Tower at the Castle of Stein, Nassau, 1872. Creator: Unknown
Commemorative Tower at the Castle of Stein, Nassau, 1872. The numerous visitors to [the monument in memory of Baron von Stein, the illustrious German statesman] usually call next at the residence of the Stein family, now in a female line, where they are permitted to inspect the curious tower which the statesman erected in commemoration of the victories of 1813-15. This structure is interesting from a tradition connected with it, which is to the effect that when Stein was flying from his enemies, in 1807, he was in danger of being captured, when an old woman concealed him in an old tower, upon the model of which the present one was constructed. Over the entrance is an inscription from Luther's hymn, Ein feste Burg is unser Gott ('Our God is a tower of strength'). The interior consists of two stories, in the first of which is a series of portraits of German worthies, including the Empress Maximilian and Charles V, , Luther, Frederick II. of Prussia, and Marshal Blucher, with different artistic emblems...The whole, though simple in detail, is illustrative of the character of a remarkable man, of whom Germany is justly proud'. From Illustrated London News, 1872. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
