Facts and practical information

The Jubilee Column is a monument erected on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the reign and the 60th birthday of King Wilhelm I of Württemberg from 1841 to 1846 on the Schloßplatz in Stuttgart. The column consists of a 30 meter high shaft made of granite, the 5 meter high statue of the Roman goddess Concordia, four reliefs with historical scenes and four allegorical figures at the corners of the column base.

Flanked by two imposing fountains, aligned with the Music Pavilion and the Königsbau, the Jubilee Column in the center of Stuttgart's Schloßplatz, the "most beautiful square in the city", dominates all the surrounding buildings by its height and the impressive majesty of the goddess Concordia: the Marquardt Building, the Queen Olga Building, the Art Building, the New Palace, the Old Palace, the Old Chancellery and the Art Museum.
