The name ‘Wedding Tower’ refers to the wedding between the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig and Princess Eleonore zu Solms-Hohensolms-Lich in the year 1905. After the announcement of the engagement, the Grand Duke consulted the Viennese architect Josef Maria Olbrich. Both of them were intrigued by the idea of creating a widely visible monument in commemoration of this event. The 48.5-meter-high tower designed by Olbrich was erected in the years 1907 to 1908 by Darmstadt’s urban building department.
