Peter-Altmeier-Denkmal in Koblenz, Monument in Koblenz, Germany
The Peter-Altmeier-Denkmal is a modern sandstone structure shaped like a portal, standing along the Moselle River near the German Corner. Multiple reddish stone blocks form this geometric composition, creating a striking presence on the waterfront.
The monument was designed by artist Horst Schwab in 1979 to honor Peter Altmeier, who led Rhineland-Palatinate's reconstruction as Prime Minister. His leadership from 1947 to 1969 shaped the region's recovery during the post-war period.
The four sandstone blocks here symbolize the regions that came together to form modern Rhineland-Palatinate after World War II. This meaning becomes clear as you walk around the structure along the riverbank.
The monument sits directly on the Peter-Altmeier Embankment and is fully accessible for visitors of all abilities. It connects easily with walking paths along the Moselle, making it simple to combine a visit with a riverside stroll.
Shortly after the monument was installed, its commemorative plaque had to be replaced because of a spelling mistake. This minor mishap reveals how even significant public works sometimes require corrections.
