The Angel of Peace was erected to mark the 25th anniversary of peace after the Franco-Prussian War. Today, it is not only a monument, but also a symbol of understanding and cohesion. The grounds around the monument were designed in Art Nouveau style and convey an almost solemn atmosphere – an ideal place to pause for a moment. <\/p>\n
