    Shortly after the death of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the idea arose to erect a memorial to the Kaiser, who had brought about the complete unification of Germany after three wars. Three years later, in 1891, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the grandson of the deceased, chose the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz as a suitable location. In order to create space for the memorial, a port of refuge was filled in, which at that time was located at the mouth of the Moselle. The Deutsches Eck in its present form was created.

    On August 31, 1897, the copper-engraved monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I was inaugurated in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

      A very special tourist attraction in Koblenz, the Rhine - Moselle confluence at the "Deutsches Eck". Of course, the monumental equestrian statue, the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument from 1897, is worth seeing at the “Deutsches Eck”.
