Memorial stone Korn

Johann Gottfried Korn was a Calwhe was a tanner and a member of the city council

(Council member). In 1785, he married Karoline Binder from Enzweihingen. The couple had nine children, two of whom, sons, survived. The elder son, Christoph Gottfried, erected this memorial stone for his revered father. Christoph Gottfried died in 1820, almost exactly one year after his father. The memorial stone, modeled on Roman examples, was crafted from a single block of sandstone and adorned with a crowning element and romanticized verses. It is also decorated with a portrait relief of Johann Gottfried Korn and stylized tanner's awls, symbols of his trade.

The inscriptions read:

(Towards the East) His memory will remain in the blessing, below which is the portrait relief, Joh. Gottfr. Korn, born May 20, 1763, died January 31, 1819. (Towards the South) Love never ends, he lives in our hearts. But our source of joy will flow dimly in the future; we miss his fatherly love. These lines are flanked by tanner's arms. (Towards the West) Monument of love and gratitude, erected by his eldest son, Christoph Gottfried. (Towards the North) The dark riddle of this time will one day be gloriously solved by eternity. These lines are also flanked by tanner's arms. Here, at the Korn Stone, Hermann Hesse also met with his schoolmates in the 1880s and recited fairy tales he had written himself. The monument and the surrounding land eventually passed through several hands before finally coming into the possession of the family of the commercial school director, Karl Zügel. Zügel was married to Clara Dreiß, a descendant of the wife of the monument's founder, Christiane Auguste Korn.
