Deutsches Eck is located in the German city of Koblenz, at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers. The famous building on the German Horn is the equestrian sculpture of William I. The total height of the sculpture is 37 meters, of which the knight statue is 14 meters high. In 1216, Theoderich von Wied (about 1170 - March 28, 1242), the archbishop and elector of Trier, dispatched the Teutonic Knights to Koblenz, and out of defense Consideration of local hospitals, donate local churches and hospitals to them. The Teutonic Knights established the "Deutschherrenhaus" (German: Deutschherrenhaus) on the territory of the Moselle and Rhine estuaries, as the Teutonic Knights' resident in Koblenz, and the estuary territory was named "Deutschhorn". . The Deutsches Eck has attracted a large number of tourists from the day it built the equestrian sculpture of William I. The land on which the Wilhelm I equestrian sculpture is located is suitable for various large-scale open-air events. Concerts, open-air festivals, and fireworks on the Rhine are often held. Since 2005, it has also been the end of the annual Middle Rhine Marathon.
