In 1992, the sculptor, Jurgen Weber, created this history column to celebrate Koblenz's 2000 year anniversary. The bronze sculpture is cleverly executed with 3-D figures in 10 scenes representing an important event in Koblenz since Roman time. Most impressive is its first scene in which a Roman galley boat filled with wine barrels is rowed by slaves. The boat almost floats in the super large basin. The boat is the fountain as there is water pouring out of the mouths of Father Rhine and Mother Moselle attached to the side of the boat, from the barrel spouts, and even from the boat itself. All provide the sound of gushing water. That part is the prettiest, too, as the dominant figures, the boat, the oars, and the barrels have turned turquoise. The other 9 historical scenes which are atop the boat are much smaller, darker, and are circular. The top scenes show the destruction of Koblenz from the 1944 bombing raids and the rebirth of the city from those flames. Detour from a visit to the city hall and its Schangel Fountain to see this incredible work of art in Josef Gorres Platz. This fountain and historical column can be photographed from all sides.

This fountain is a must see and we would have missed it if we weren't looking for the Deutsche Bank. Lots of different animals to see, great imagination of the artist. We would recommend.

Lovely viewpoint for the old town of Trier. It’s a good 25 min hike but energising! I recommend taking water with you - there is nothing by means of coffee shops on the way

Fabulous work of art depicting many eras, history and symbols of Kaiserslautern. The details are phenomenal. I see something new each time I am there. There is a poster in both German and English explaining what each piece is. Take your picture sitting on the fish or with Victorian dress.
