Friedrichsdorf, about 20 km north of Frankfurt, was founded by a group of Huguenots in 1687, who had fled France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. They were granted asylum by Landgrave Friedrich II. They named the town after the Landgrave. Friedrichsdorf flourished as the Huguenots brought new technolgies to this part of Hesse. Linen and later flannel were produced here. The services in the Protestant church were held in French language up to the beginning of the 20th century. End of the 19th century this memorial was erected, honoring Landgrave Friedrich II. Later someone endowed the Landgrave two wonderful street lamps.
