    The imposing monument with the stone inscription "Gott mit uns" under the feet of the one-headed imperial eagle at the top is made of coarse porphyry blocks. This memorial was built in 1914 by a replacement battalion for the fallen of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The eagle looks west to the "evil archenemy".

    On the pillar the admonition: "To honor the fallen, to teach the living".

    This conflict was the birth of the German Empire, which was symbolically proclaimed in 1871 in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. With the founding of the empire, the old dream of a unified nation state came true for many; it permanently changed the balance of power on the European continent.

      On idyllic paths, the climb to the Mühlberg is effortlessly mastered and crowned at the Adler Monument with a great view over the nature reserve Neu-Bamberger Heide. In the following section you are in the middle of the magnificent heath landscape. The icing on the cake of this tour is the Winzeralm, which not only offers a resting place with "Rheinhessen's Most Beautiful Wine View 2016", but also serves delicious vine juice on weekends in the summer.

        What is interesting about the eagle monument is that it was built in 1915, i.e. during the war.
