Largest war memorial in Europe

There is a bit of walking, but this was the highlight of my week. With the audio guide it was like re experiencing a history I knew little about. I usually avoid war memorials, but this one seemed so appropriate. It is hard to believe that very soon after this was erected (100 years after the actual battle), W.W. I began. When will they ever learn?

I was taken on a tour of Leipzig with a professional tour guide who explained much of the history to the group. The statue shows Goethe looking towards the university where he was meant to study, but if you look a little longer you'll notice his feet are pointing in another direction. He's walking to a bar of some kind, where he would meet with his girlfriends. He wasn't one for studying. On the right of the statue is shown a picture of a girl who is apparently not so pretty, but very clever. This was the girl for his mind and intellect. On the other side of the statue is a picture of another girl, who is more pretty. This was the girl for his heart. That's what my tour guide told me. I was also told some more about Goethe, but I won't spoil it all. The memorial is definitely worth a look if you're in the area!
