The amazing black sculpture was to commemorate the awarding of town status to the city and to reflect on the impact of war and the various periods in the 700 year history of the town. It shows faceless soldiers and horses, the two symbols of Dusseldorf-the rose and the lion and the pope who decreed that the church could be recognised (I think that's right). This is just one section of the sculpture.
Anyway, by the time we return home we hopefully can read up some more on German history.
