"Victory and Peace Memorial Edenkoben
The Victory Monument in Edenkoben in 1899 built on the river island mountain to commemorate the victory in the war of 1870/71 . The site was chosen because from there the signals over the victory of the united German tribes on the French, who in Strasbourg were given could see.
In 1969 - at the 1200 anniversary Edenkobens - was replaced the sword in the hands of the equestrian figure of a palm branch. In the train of this adaptation was the Victory Monument in Peace Memorial renamed.
The monument shows an open design . It is with ornaments and frescoes decorated. It is the emblem of the then German tribes and fighters from this era immortalized. Similarly, the association of these strains is shown.
