The memorial stone, an approx. Three meter high granite boulder, was erected on behalf of and at the expense of the Harz Club Wernigerode under the direction of Wernigerode city building councilor Wilhelm Deistel. The inauguration took place on the morning of August 4, 1929 in the presence of Ernst Löns, the poet's brother. This gave the speech. Then the stone was unveiled with his brother's plaque and plaque. The plaque and plaque were designed and manufactured by Hans Bülow.
