Monument
· WIESBADEN RHEINGAU
· 306 m
The Niederwalddenkmal, built between 1877 and 1883 according to plans by the Dresdner Johann Schilling, measures 38 meters. The construction and its dimensions are still impressive today, even though the reason for its construction – the foundation of the German Empire after the victory in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 – is obviously outdated in a united Europe. The monument is topped by the 12-meter-high figure of Germania, complete with an imperial crown and the imperial sword. It is easily accessible by a cable car or chairlift from Rüdesheim am Rhein and Assmannshausen. The panoramic view extending far into the Rhine Valley provides a spectacular backdrop for selfies.
