The fountain was created in 1913 by the Munich sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand and erected in 1921. It is made of shell limestone and is designed as a heptagonal dome. On top of the fountain stands Siegfried with his sword, which represents the scene of the dragon slayer from the legend.

The municipality of Biblis has handed over the ferry tower on the Rhine dike, which was originally built in 1901 as accommodation for the ferryman, to the Nordheim local history and history association. He has big plans for the tower: the building, which has been inaccessible to the public for decades, will now be accessible to everyone thanks to private sponsors. The local history and history association is planning an exhibition about the history of ferry and Rhine shipping with exciting lectures and hands-on activities about gold panning in the Rhine and the search for remains of the Rhine crossing that was formerly used for military purposes during the Second World War. Günter Mössinger, chairman of the Nordheim local history and history association, is confident that the ferry tower will soon regularly attract children, young people and adults.

Great bike path 👍👍👍

More than 100,000 visitors came to the city for the celebration of the unveiling of the monument on June 25, 1868 - the anniversary of the handing over of the Confessio Augustana, which was celebrated in southern Germany as a commemoration day of the Reformation. Among the invited guests of honor were numerous reigning princes, including the Prussian King William I

In addition to the posting of the theses in 1517, the main historical reason for erecting the monument was Luther's role at the Diet of Worms in 1521, when he defended his theses before Emperor Charles V. In addition to Rietschel, who came up with the overall design, his students included Adolf von Donndorf (statues of Waldus, Savonarola, Reuchlin, Friedrich the Wise and Magdeburg), Johannes Schilling (statue of the personified city of Speyer) and Gustav Adolph Kietz (statues of Hus , Melanchthon, Philipp the Magnanimous and Augsburg) and the architect Hermann Nicolai, a student of Gottfried Semper, were involved in the design of the monument. It was cast in the art foundry Lauchhammer. Rietschel's statue of Luther in the center of the memorial was influential in depicting Luther in the late 19th century and was cast for numerous Luther memorials in Central Europe and North America.

The Siegfried Fountain is a listed fountain in the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Worms. It is reminiscent of Siegfried the dragon slayer, one of the main characters in the Nibelungen saga.

Thanks to the blind model by artist Egbert Broerken, visually impaired people can also experience the monument. There are now three of these “mini versions” of major sights in Worms. Great idea!

The Luther monument in Worms was created by Ernst Rietschel in honor of the reformer Martin Luther and unveiled on June 25, 1868. Next to the international Reformation monument in Geneva, it is the world's largest Reformation monument. The statues and the monument are gigantic!
