Where the Rhine and Moselle flow into each other: The Deutsches Eck is the landmark of Koblenz. The land was artificially filled in 1891. In memory of Kaiser Wilhelm I, his grandson Kaiser Wilhelm II had a monument erected here. The statue showed the emperor on his horse. However, it was destroyed in March 1945. A few years later, Federal President Theodor Heuß named the riderless pedestal a memorial to German unity. In 1993, the 37-meter-high monument was completed again with a reconstruction of the imperial rider.
