Originally executed by Theodor Wolff as a wooden sculpture, the statue was replaced in 1891 on behalf of the owner of Schloss Thalstein , Wolf von Tümpling , by a stone figure of Otto Späte. It is a mighty, larger than life figure of the Erlkönigs, who, as an old man with a long beard and robe, extends his hand over a pond below him. Actually, the statue carries a sword in his right hand, this was in the context of the recent refurbishment also attached again, but it has unknown people removed or destroyed. According to a legend, Goethe is said to have learned the story of the Erlkönig from a farmer in the inn ” Grüne Tanne ” and to have written it in a poem. The location of the ballad should be identical with the location of the monument; the landscape on the spot with its trees and the fog, which is common on all flood plains , should be recognizable in the poem. Another, now refuted legend tells of a ride of Goethe from Jena to Dornburg and the inspiration of the poet through the ascending hall fog.

In 1789 Schiller gave his famous Inaugural Lecture What is and to what end does one study universal history? In the following he took up his official academic duties: a post that brought prestige but little pay. In March 1797 Schiller purchased his Garden House. He suffered from lung disease and had been looking for a place outside the town. He and his family used the Garden house as a summer residence in the three years that followed. Together with his wife Charlotte, their two little sons, and three servants, they spent the summer months at this site.
