Hiking
Since their completion in 1840, these two granite columns have stood a few meters further south on Luisenplatz and were moved here in 1902-04.
One of the two had King Friedrich Wilhelm III. Bought in reserve in 1826, he commissioned the other from master builder Cantian. It was hewn in 1828 from the Markgrafenstein, the same boulder from which the large granite bowl in front of the Old Museum in the Lustgarten was made. But which is which? If you look closely and compare, you will find out.
