The monument to Ludewig I, Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, stands in the centre of the city of Darmstadt on a 30 metre column. The locals call him not “Langer Ludwig” as is so often quoted but “Langer Lui”, One Word Sunday: Long
Tag: Langer Ludwig
Long, Tall Louis
This monument of Grand Duke Ludewig of Hesse and by Rhine stands in the central square of Darmstadt. The plinth, the column and the 5 metre tall Ludewig measure a total of just under 40 metres. The Darmstadt people love the tall structure and only call it “Langer Lui” (or “Tall Ludwig”).
Not odd as such but odd because I could’ve sworn the one word today would be “tall”. So I leave this post as an example of the oddity of my brain.
