The monument, which was renewed in 1951, is located on the Kleiner Lindenberg. It commemorates the merchant Kaspar Friedrich Sporck, who was born in Ostheim in 1796.

His parents were Kaspar and Katharine Sporck, a truss maker. Kaspar Friedrich learned his father's trade. When peaceful times returned after the Congress of Vienna, the silk goods business picked up again and the boy followed the request of his cousin, who lived in France, to come to Rouen.

His integrity and modesty soon won him friends. He was able to set up his own business, married Marie Catherine Leprince and ran his business with such prudence that he became prosperous. From 1832, he and his wife visited his home town almost every year. He never left without thinking of the poor.

Sporck died on 11.05.1883 at the age of 89. As his wife also "spent the happiest days in Ostheim", she sent money for the needy every year. She died on 29.01.1891 at the age of 98. The Sporck Foundation amounted to a total of 40,475.06 marks. 1/3 was to go to the school, 1/3 to the hospital and 1/3 to the poor.

The grateful town of Ostheim awarded the couple honorary citizenship in 1880. The portraits of both benefactors found a place of honor in the municipal hospital, which is now the organ building museum.
