History Column

History Column

History Column

1992 2000



Donation of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate on the occasion of the 2000th anniversary in 1992.

______________

The theme is the history of the city of Koblenz,starting with its foundation by Rome.


"The history column in the centre of the basin is supported by a wine ship about four and a half metres long, which, rowed by six larger-than-life naked Coblenz slaves and steered by a Roman winery chef, transports wine down the Moselle. (...) Even though my ship has a completely different shape, the idea goes back to the well-known wine ship reliefs in Trier. The ship itself is supported by a bronze water cylinder, similar to the Ship of Fools. When the water feature is turned on, the ship overflows like a fountain bowl. The Coblenz slaves sit in the water.

Above the wine barrels, the actual history column develops with the Roman city "Apud confluentes", then the division of Charlemagne's empire in the Coblenz church of St. Kastor, etc. until the Second World War and the reconstruction of the destroyed city."  (J.W.)

Location: Koblenz, Josef-Görres-Platz

Design: Weber, Jürgen

Realization: Weber, Jürgen

Material: Bronze
