Rind Monument

Born in the old town of Homburg in 1726 and died in 1797, Johann Christian Rind was a successful and simultaneously deeply religious and socially minded merchant. He donated much of his fortune to a foundation that took care of old citizens of Homburg. The Rind Monument in Bad Homburg's old town, which was created in his honour, was designed  by the town's famous master builder, Louis Jacobi. The monument has two steps leading to a stone bench with a memorial stone. The bronze relief was designed by Jacob May after an original painting by Rind. The ceremonial unveiling took place on 28 September 1898. The nearby retirement home, "Rind'sches Bürgerstift", is still in operation today.
