    Kaiser-Wilhelm I is the person sitting on the horse high above the "Deutsches Eck" This monument dates back to the year 1897 and was built by the architect professor Bruno Schmitz and Professor Hundrieser, who made the impressive sculpture with a total of more than 60 tons and a hight of 14 meters. You may even step up the monument and have a better view of the rivers Mosel and Rhine.
    In WW II the monument was destroyed but rebuilt again afterwards.

    Main attraction on the Deutsche Eck peninsula is the monument of the German Emperor Wilhelm I.. The original statue was erected by the sculptor Emil Hundrieser and the architect Bruno Schmitz in 1893–1897 but was destroyed by Allied artillery fire in 1945. A private donation made it possible to erect a copy of the statue on this place. It was uncovered in 1993. The total height including the base is 37 m, the copper bronze sculpture (height 14 m) weighs 61.5 tons.

    the "deutsche Kaiser"
    by wadekorzan
    The so-called "Deutsche Kaiser" is the oldest stone building in Koblenz that is still inhabited. it dates back to the 16th century, and is leabing a little bit to the right side. It does this even before you drink some beer downstairs in the pub--a very popular place for locals and tourists alike.

    The Deutsche Kaiser is situated along the banks of the Mosel River..follow along wiht my tips and I will take you on a guided virtual stroll through the Old Town of Koblenz, starting at the Deutsche Kaiser.

    The impressive collosal equestrian statue of the emperor Wilhelm I of Germany is the main attraction of Deutsches Eck, as tourists can climb up to it to view the beautiful panorama of the two rivers.

    The 61,5 tons and 14 meter high bronze statue was built in 1897, standing on a massive (23 meter high) piedestal. In fact, bombings in 1945 have destroyed the original, and a copy was uncovered in 1993.
