There's a funny story behind its creation in 1777. It seems that Prince Maximian Friedrich von Konigsegg-Rotherfels ordered it constructed. The catch is that the good people of Bonn had to pay for it. Maybe the enscription on the side captures their feeling about coughing up the money because it contains the phrase "You dug your monument yourself into our hearts." The structure got an update in 2013.
