4.5Thingstätte(314 reviews) - A really good hike, don't be upset if you get lost :) Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Monuments & Statues
I love hiking up to Thingstatte every now and then. Start the hike from Philosophensweg and then just figure it out on the way or ask for directions. I have been up there 3 times and still I am not sure about the route ::: I get to see new things or paths each time I go there !! It's definitely worth doing again and again!See more..
4.0Martinstor(230 reviews) - Esteemed from the 13th century Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
In the late 18th century certain interests deemed this grand tower an obstacle to evolving transport routes and wanted to demolish it. Fortunately they were persuaded otherwise by a wise Mayor and it continues to be gloriously extant, A busy tram line now runs through the central opening that was widened by the above mentioned Mayor, as part of his campaign for its preservation. One of five defensive towers in the city wall, it played a key role in warding off attackers. Gorgeous dark and light stonework is admirable. On one side a plaque with a double-headed eagle is enshrined. On the reverse an ornate rectangle has elaborate script. Clocks with golden hands and hours are towards the top on two faces.See more..
4.0Imperia(205 reviews) - Impressive statue with a meaning Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
The Imperia is a satirical allusion to the Council of Constance (1414-1418) when prostitution flourished. The statue is a sparsely dressed woman, a courtesan, holding two naked male figures, one with the papal tiara representing Pope Martin V. and the other one with an imperial crown representing the Emperor Sigismund, the two most powerful men of their time. The figure, created by the artist Peter Lenk, stands on a round table that rotates once on its own axis in four minutes. The Imperia was erected in 1993 and over time became a tourist attraction on Lake Constance. It is strange that couples hang locks on the fence of the Imperia, a courtesan, certainly not known for eternal love.See more..
4.5Schwabentor(175 reviews) - Grand old gateway Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
Dating from around the mid 1200s there is a fine sense of history walking around it and through the archway. Wonderfully ornate with light and dark stone and a grand array of windows it is a treasured landmark. Frescos adorn the sides and a colourful sculptural relief is another flourish. At the tower apex is a fine clock with golden hands and hours.See more..
4.0Magische Saule(111 reviews) - A great stop off with plenty to see. Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
This little town has it all. A great atmosphere, lots of little shops and restaurants and a castle. You can stay in the main streets near the pier or climb the steep steps and explore. My only regret was we only stopped off for two hours and I would love to have stayed longer.See more..

3.5El Nino(28 reviews) - El Nino submerged, drowned, nothing to see except water and a buoy Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
Due to the high water level El Nino was totally submerged, an orange coloured buoy indicated where the poor guy drowned. Heavy rainfalls had filled up the lake, El Nino will re-emerge after some time, hopefully unscathed.See more..
3.0Schlange über Kreuzung(25 reviews) - But... Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
WHY? Our hosts from Stuttgart could not tell us what this was (outside of it being a snake), who placed it there, when and why. Pretty amusing that we had to Google it ourselves. Really neat to see though, just after you've enjoyed the Ludwigsburg Residential Palace Gardens just across the street.See more..
4.0Des Esels Schatten(23 reviews) - Gorgeous old city Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
We stopped in Biberach on our way from Landsberg to Tubingen. What a joule of a city, and we lucked out as there was a large street market in the town centre, complete with food vans and all types of local produce. We spent nearly 2 hours wandering the streets, marvelling at the stalls and local shops, finishing with a great cappuccino at a small coffee shop.See more..
4.0Radbrunnen(22 reviews) - Great Story Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Monuments & Statues
Part of our Gate 1 walk tour. Located right next to St Stephen's. The story about the convicts and prostitutes operating the well was more interesting than just seeing the structure.See more..
Very detailed statue surrounded by a fountain. Try and see if before kids and Instagram "models" get it.See more..
3.5Leonberg Dog Statue(12 reviews) - Leonberger Dog Statue Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
It's just a statue, but if you love Leonbergers, this is a great photo opportunity. The history of the breed and its origin is significant for Leo owners but the statue is not well known, and is of little interest to others (we asked numerous people around town and most had never heard of it). It can be tricky to find as it is not located in the old town center. It can be found between the Amber Hotel and City Hall (Stadthalle) where Lindenbergerstraße meets Römerstraße.See more..
3.5Robert Mayer - Denkmal(12 reviews) - SUR LA PLACE DU MARCHE Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
On ne peut pas rater cette sculpture imposante qui se situe un peu en retrait sur la place du marché. C'est une très jolie réalisation qui mérite que l'on s'y attarde un moment.See more..

4.5Kunstgrenze(8 reviews) - Justo en la frontera suizo-alemana del lago, está el Parque de las Esculturas. Muy bonito. Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
En este precioso lago Konstanz, en la frontera suizo-alemana, está el Parque de las Esculturas. Muy bonito para mirar, apreciar estas obras artísticas y pasear. Vale la pena visitar.See more..
Silcher was one of those composers of the 19th century, who are almost forgotten. But who sings or hears the Loreley-tune on boat on the river Rhein or sings the famous christmas song: "Alle Jahre wieder" meets Friedrich Silcher, who worked in Tübingen from 1817 as the first Music-Director of the Tübingen University. Go for a walk on "Platanenallee", to see im as a statue. See more..

4.0Alexiusbrunnen(6 reviews) - Zwischen Rathaus und Kirche Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues • Fountains

4.0Rassler Monument(6 reviews) - Etwas zur Lokalgeschichte Monuments & Statues
Interessantes Denkmal in Pforzheim, das auf der dazugehörenden Tafel sehr ausführlich erklärt wird. Damit lernt man dann was zur Geschichte der Stadt. Kein sonderlich spektakuläres Denkmal, aber ganz amüsant.See more..
DOWN. These are all over Germany and it is a sobering reminder of what occurred not so long ago. Make sure to take a moment to remember the victims of the atrocity that was Nazi Germany.See more..
This is a funny statue at the entry to Staufen between the railway station and the castle ruin. It jumps into your face and during carnevale season its nakedness might get covered by condoms.

4.0Kriegerdenkmal(5 reviews) - German War Memorial Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
Many ordinary Germans died in both world wars called up for the Wehrmacht (the German Army) and this is one such war memorial to Friedrichshafen's dead from both world wars. You'll find it near the Bodensee front, under the trees in the park behind (spookily) the memorial to Kaiser Wilhelm I. It looks quite aryan and is quite striking. It's different in style to British war memorials and you won't find any direct references to the Nazis but Germany's war dead deserve a memorial too. After all these men had no real choice an despite the militaristic imagery it's a reminder of the futility of those conflicts. See more..

Если вы окажетесь на Рыночной площади Раштатта (Marktplatz), то напротив главного фасада церкви Св. Александра увидите барочный фонтан с установленной наверху статуей Св. Иоганна Непомука. В 1727-1728 годах уже существующий на этом месте источник питьевой воды был реконструирован и переоборудован в новую и прогрессивную на тот момент насосную станцию, которая была спроектирована архитектором Иоганном Питером Эрнстом Рорером (Peter Ernst Rohrer). Венчала фонтан статуя Св. Непомука. Этому святому поклонялись прежде всего в Богемии, откуда была родом Франциска Сибилла Августа – супруга маркграфа Людвига Вильгельма Баден-Баденского, основателя замка Раштатта. В 1893 году к фонтану была добавлена изящная кованая решетка. Этот фонтан, несомненно, является украшением главной площади города, и вместе с расположенным неподалеку еще одним фонтаном – Св. Алексия, Ратушей и церковью Св. Александра формирует ее архитектурный ансамбль.See more..
Sehenswürdigkeit oberes Tor von Bietigheim-Bissingen. Bei einem Stadtbummel gehört das obere Tor unbedingt mit dazu, wenn man sich mit der Geschichte von Bietigheim-Bissingen auseinandersetzt.See more..
4.0Kriegsgraber- und Gedenkstatte Lerchenberg(4 reviews) - Schöner Höhenweg Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
Sehr schöner Höhenweg und schön gestaltete Gedenkstätte. Toller Blick über den See auf dem Spaziergang von Meersburg nach Hagnau auf dem Uferweg und zürück nach Meersburg dann eben bei der Gedenkstätte vorbei. Ist alleweil ein Ausflug wert.See more..
3.5Die St. Zeno Statue(4 reviews) - Inconspicuous bronze statue of St. Zeno Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
The bronze statue of St. Zeno, one of the 3 city patrons of Radolfzell, is located next to the cathedral. The rather inconspicuous piece of modern art was constructed in 2005 on the occasion of the 75th birthday of the honorary canon and pastor Bernhard Maurer. .See more..
4.0Bambuswald(3 reviews) - Total calmness Friday: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues • Scenic Walking Areas
The Buddha garden, the bamboo jungle and jasmine tea sipped with the music by spring water flowing through huge trees. Pure Zen !!!!See more..
3.0Schelmenbaum(3 reviews) - Rascals on a tree Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
Driving through the little town of Emmingen one can't miss the Schelmenbaum (picaresque tree, I would call it tree with scoundrels). Peter Lenk the artist who created this sculpture probably had some rascals in mind, politicians who in real life act like monkeys, and pretend to be more important than others.See more..
4.5Skulpturenpark Juergen Goertz(3 reviews) - Traumhafter Park mit "verrückten" Skulpturen Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
Dieser Park ist zu allen Jahreszeiten ein Genuss. Wir sind öfters auch mit den Enkeln hier, die gerne auf den Skulpturen herumklettern oder in dem traumhaften riesigen Baum auf der Rückseite des Schlosses. Auch zu diversen Veranstaltungen waren wir schon hier, aber da ist es uns mittlerweile einfach zu voll.See more..
Die Ursulasäule befindet sich mitten in der Offenburger Innenstadt, direkt vor dem Rathaus der kleinen Stadt. Die 13 m hohe Säule wurde aus rotem Granit, die Skulptur aus einer hellen Bronze hergestellt. Die Sehenswürdigkeit wurde von Dr. Franz Burda gestiftet und schließlich 1961 vom Bildhauer Emil Sutor gestaltet.
Die Figur zeigt die heilige Ursula, die Schutzpatronin der Stadt Offenburg. Der Legende nach soll diese im Jahr 1638 auf der Offenburger Stadtmauer erschienen sein, und so einen feindlichen Angriff abgewehrt haben. In meinen Augen ist die Säule, in Kombination mit einem Besuch der Offenburger Innenstadt definitiv einen Besuch wert.See more..
4.0Brunnen am Fuchseck(2 reviews) - Brunnen am Fuchseck Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues • Fountains

4.0Die Maulbronner Madonna(2 reviews) - In fact, the colors have faded Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Monuments & Statues • Churches & Cathedrals
Among the empty monastic walls, Madonna sat up on the throne, gray, inconspicuous, many years survived! The initial impression is not impressive, but after a few minutes of reflections on past years ...See more..
4.0Marienbrunnen(2 reviews) - Fin brunn. Monuments & Statues • Fountains
Regnet det öste ned så det blev bara ett snabbstopp utanför cafét för att titta på Marienbrunnen. Vacker brunn med Maria högst upp. Att kolla på denna statybrunn kan rekommenderas att göras.See more..
Die 20 Meter hohe Aluminiumskulptur "Freiheit - männlich/weiblich" befindet sich am Platz der Verfassungsfreunde, etwa 10 Minuten von der Offenburger Fußgängerzone entfernt.
Die Skulptur wurde am 15. Dezember 2000 von Aenne Burda, die die Figur gestiftet hatte und dem damaligen Bürgermeister Dr. Wolfgang Bruder eingeweiht. Sie soll an die wichtige Rolle der Stadt Offenburg an der Badischen Revolution 1847 erinnern und zeigt die Silhouetten einer männlichen und einer weiblichen Person.
Die Skulptur ist in meinen Augen wirklich sehr beeindruckend und in Kombination mit dem Platz der Verfassungsfreunde definitiv einen Besuch wert.See more..
