Deutsches Eck: Koblenz, Germany
The point of land formed at the confluence of the Mosel river
with the Rhine is known as the "Deutsches Eck" or
"German Corner". In 1897 a monument of Emperor Wilhelm I on
his horse was erected and the corner became associated
with that monument. The statue was destroyed during WWII and
was only replaced by a copy in 1993 thanks to a donation by a
local couple.
