The canal monument represents the union of the Main and the Danube (lat. Moenus et Danubius) through an allegory of the two figures lying on top, who shake hands over their sources. The inscription reads:

“DANUBE AND MAIN
CONNECTED FOR SHIPPING,
A WORK BY CARL THE GREAT ATTEMPTS
BY LUDWIG I KING OF BAVARIA
BEGUN AND FINISHED
MDCCCXLVI."

Toasted by traffic and therefore easy to miss.

Unfortunately trapped on the A73 and state road. Here took place 1846 the inauguration of the channel.
