In 1871, honoring the unification of Germany, a big monument, named Niderwalddenkmal, was erected on a hill overlooking Rüdesheim and the Rhine Valley. The main structure is a 12.5.meter high statue representing Germania. Schiller's youngest doughter, Clara, served as model for the face of the statue.
