Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you.

A machine translation of the original German narrative (not edited): The National Monument on the Niederwald or Niederwald-Monument, as it is usually called after its location, is a masterpiece of the famous sculptor Johannes Schilling. It was solemnly unveiled on September 28, 1883, in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm I and numerous German princes, as a lasting sign of remembrance of the reunification of all German tribes and of the glorious victories of the German armies in 1870/71. The sacrilegious attempt by anarchists to destroy this landmark of German power and greatness by a well-prepared dynamite explosion on the day of the unveiling was only thwarted by the unfavorable weather conditions and thus unspeakable misfortune was prevented. The Niederwald, on which the monument rises 225 meters above the Rhine to the south, is a forest crowned with splendid oak and beech woods, covered on the southern slope with lush vineyards. covered with lush vineyards, 350 meters high, between Rüdesheim and the meters high, between Rüdesheim and Assmannshausen. From there, one enjoys a magnificent view over the Rhine, which deep below, at the Bingerloch, (Binger Rapids) takes its turn from west to north. The Niederwald Monument consists of a 25 meter high pedestal decorated with reliefs and allegorical figures representing war and peace, the Rhine and the Moselle. The bronze figure of the victorious Germania, 10 1/2 meters high, is enthroned on this pedestal, looking towards the Vosges, as the guard on the Rhine. The Niederwald monument can be easily reached within a short time by two cogwheel railroads, which lead from Rüdesheim and Assmannshar en up to its vicinity. The fragrant oak and beech forests offer a rare opportunity for short or long excursions and for enjoying the fresh, invigorating forest air. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
