Arminius Statue

September 24, 2020 by Henk Bekker

Arminius / Hermann Statue

The Hermann statue is of a German bearded warrior standing in a contra pose holding a shield in his left hand and a huge sword pointing upwards in his right. His dress is supposed to be typical Germanic but nothing is added to identify a specific tribe. His winged hat was deliberately chosen, even if historically inaccurate, to show the eagle as the heraldic symbol of a united Germany. At the same time, he crushes a Roman eagle under his left foot.
