The place named “Deutsches Eck” at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Moselle, is less nationalistic than one might assume despite the 40m tall equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I accopanied by a woman signifying victory. It’s named after the Teutonic Order, a catholic institution, founded to aid with the crusades. This order established a branch here in the 12th century, and hence the name.

The photos were taken from the cable car that crosses the Rhine from this point to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress on a flat hill opposite overlooking the town of Koblenz.

And to apologize for the not quite squeaky clean windows I have a bonus photo: a shot from above.
