 view from the former customs house Koiffhus by robertbaum, 2 more photos "Lazare de Schwendi (1522-1583) was a diplomat turned commander under the Holy Roman Empire for which he was rewarded with the domain of Hohlandsberg, near Colmar. According to legend, the vine stern held by his statue evokes the Tokay vines brought back from his campaigns in Hungary, which in fact the pinot gris established in Alsace from the Middle Ages. This work by Bartholdi was exhibited at the 1897 Paris Exhibition and then moved to this fountain which was inaugurated in 1898." Address: at Place de l'Ancienne Douane

"Théophile-Conrad Pfeffel (1736-1809), who lost his sight in 1757, devoted his life to literature and teaching: in 1773 he founded a military academy for training young Protestants unable to attend the Royal Academy, and in 1803 was made president of the Evangelical Consistory of Colmar. He left a collection of poems, fables, stories and short stories. This statue which was made by Charles Geiss in 1927 is a sandstone copy of the original work by André Friedrich (1859)."
