    Monument erected in 1855 in honor of the Grand Duke of Baden, Leopold. Basically, it was an attempt to bring the Achern citizens to the monarchy after the time of the Baden Revolution in 1848.

    At the beginning of the Baden Revolution of 1848, a people's assembly took place in Achern on April 2nd. Achern also hit the headlines later because of its involvement in the 1848 revolution. Overall, the revolution was not cheap for the city of Achern, and yet a monument to Grand Duke Leopold of Baden was erected in this "revolutionary nest". Grand Duke Leopold (August 29, 1790 - August 24, 1852) took over the rule of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1830, to which Achern belonged again since 1805.

    The sandstone statue shows a portrait bust of Grand Duke Leopold of Baden (1790-1852) in the pose of a Roman ruler. He is crowned by a maiden, who represents the allegory of the city of Achern, with a laurel wreath.

    The monument was created in 1855 by the Strasbourg sculptor André Friedrich (also Andreas Friedrich, 1798-1877).

    Achern was considered an active "revolutionary nest" during the Baden Revolution of 1848/49. The fact that a monument to the sovereign was erected here shortly thereafter continues to be a subject of historical discussion to this day.
