Koblenz, Germany: History Column

Want to learn the history of Koblenz quickly? I supposed there are short introductions to the town somewhere on line. But it's probably easier to find this statue in downtown.

This was created by Juergen Weber, and the idea was to tell the story of Koblenz through one statue. Ten different episodes are depicted here, with the bottom starting out the story and working their way forward as things go higher. I suppose stacking one episode on top of the other is not a coincidence.

This is located in a plaza named after Josef Gorres, a journalist. The statue went up in 2000 to mark about 2,000 years of history for the city.
