Monument to Baron Felix von Loe
A bronze monument on the grounds of Kempen Castle honouring the chairman of the Rhenish Farmers' Association, founded in 1882.
On the grounds of Kempen Castle, a bronze statue commemorates Baron Felix von Loe, chairman of the Rhenish Farmers' Association. The monument is one of the town's listed architectural landmarks.
Who Was Felix von Loe
Baron Felix von Loe led the Rhenish Farmers' Association, an early agricultural cooperative movement of the 19th century. Founded in Kempen on 8 November 1882, the association brought together the interests of the rural population and counts among the roots of cooperative thinking on the Lower Rhine. As its chairman, von Loe became the central figure of this movement — the very connection the monument commemorates.
The Monument
The 2.80 m figure is cast in bronze and rises above a stone plinth. The official heritage register lists 1882 as the construction date; since this is also the founding year of the Farmers' Association, the statue's exact year of erection cannot be established beyond doubt from that entry alone. The statue has been under monument protection since 21 June 1994 (no. 252) and forms part of the historic ensemble around Kempen Castle, which has its own separate entry.
