The Rüdenstein is a state-owned monument in Leichlingen, at the direct city border to Solingen near the Solinger hamlet of Rüden.
On May 26, 1927, the Ascension Day of the year, the monument was unveiled on the slope opposite the Obenrüdener Kotten. The initiator was the Widderter Beautification Association. The Solingen metal artist and industrial designer F. Otto Hoppe was commissioned for the design and execution. The dog figure comes from the Elberfeld company Pollmann & Stupp and is made of artificial stone. The base was made by the Solingen master mason Karl Groh. The council of the municipality of Witzhelden, where the monument was located, strictly rejected any financial participation but shortly after the inauguration introduced a dog tax in the municipality.
