Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and by Rhine (1837-1892) is best known to many
as the husband of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (1843-1878) and the
father of daughters who married into the Houses of Romanov and Hohenzollern
and into the Battenberg/Mountbatten family. Information about Ludwig IV can be
found in memoirs, correspondences, and biographies of his relatives. However,
publications specifically on Ludwig IV are rare. This publication includes the
first English translation of the biographical sketch of Grand Duke Ludwig IV
which was written by military historian Gebhard Zernin on the occasion of the
unveiling of the equestrian statue of Ludwig IV in Darmstadt, Hesse, in 1898.
It was published as a Festschrift and focuses on his education and military
career, portraying him as a soldier in heart and soul who participated bravely
in two wars. However, he was also a humble, kind-hearted, and fair-minded man
who cared for his people. Zernin's biographical sketch is supplemented with
concise historical background information and an account of the ceremony of
the unveiling of the statue.
