Deutsches Eck

Deutsches Eck (German Corner) is a famous landmark in the city of Koblenz, Germany. It is located at the point where two major rivers — the Rhine and the Moselle — meet. This strategic location makes the site one of the most recognizable river confluence points in Europe.

The name “Deutsches Eck” dates back to the 13th century, when the Teutonic Order established a commandery in this area.
In 1897, a massive equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I was erected here to symbolize German unity.
The monument was damaged during World War II and later restored.
Today, the site stands as a symbol of unification, memory, and national heritage.
