Historiensäule in Koblenz, Bronze column and water well at Görresplatz, Germany
The Historiensäule rises 10 meters high in the center of Görresplatz, featuring ten three-dimensional bronze scenes arranged in vertical succession.
The column commemorates the 2000th anniversary of Koblenz in 1992, depicting historical events from Roman times through the medieval period to modern city development.
Each section of the bronze column narrates different periods, including the Roman settlement, wine trade, crusades, French Revolution, and the reconstruction after 1944.
Visitors can observe the detailed bronze reliefs throughout the day at Görresplatz, while numerous restaurants and shops surround the monument.
The water well base displays a boat loaded with wine barrels, representing the intersection of Rhine and Moselle rivers and their influence on regional commerce.
