history
On October 17, 1896, at the suggestion of the Natural Science Association of the City of Wernigerode, not far from the then still independent Prussian community of Hasserode, a four-meter-high granite obelisk with a relief medallion and memorial plaques, surrounded by numerous rocks from the Harz, was erected as a memorial for Lossen.
On October 17, 1993, after a repair, it was completed in its current reconstructed and expanded form, as it had previously been the victim of vandalism and theft due to its somewhat remote location.
The monument is a station on the natural history and geological nature trail Wernigerode-Hasserode .
In the local register of monuments , the Lossen memorial is listed as an architectural monument under registration number 094 25040.
