Description
The Niederwald memorial is a monument located near Ruedesheim on the Rhine River in Hesse, Germany. The monument was constructed to commemorate the foundation of the German Empire after the end of Franco-Prussian War. The first stone was laid on September 16, 1871, by Wilhelm I. The sculptor was Johannes Schilling, and the architect was Karl Weisbach. It was inaugurated on September 28, 1883. The 38 meter (125 ft) tall monument represents the union of all Germans. The upper relief shows the German princes crowning the Prussian king as German emperor. The lower sculpture shows old Father Rhine (the personified river) handing over the alarm horn to Lady Mosel. Both rivers mark the border between Germany and France.
