Mainz is the capital and largest city of the Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. It is opposite the estuary of the Main River and the Rhine River. It is closer to Frankfurt and is a university town. It has many churches and palaces.

After leaving the train station, walk along the slope, you can see the Cathedral of St. Stefan. The most charming scenery is the 9 brilliant stained glass windows painted by Russian Jewish master Marcchagall in his twilight years with the theme of the Old Testament and New Testament stories.

The dark blue is added with shades of green, yellow and red, which makes the place full of mystery and a medieval texture, which is a symbol of reconciliation between Judaism and Christianity.

Mainz Church is one of the most gorgeous churches in Germany. The Archbishop’s Memorial Tombstone and the Church Museum contain many precious works of art. As the seat of Archbishop Mainz, one of the seven general electoral emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, the church is very majestic and gorgeous. The sculptures of many past archbishops inside are very exquisite.

The church often has organ performances. On Saturday, the market outside the church is large in scale, mainly food and flowers, and there are also some handicrafts.

It only takes about ten minutes to get from Mainz to Wiesbaden, and there are many trains.

Wiesbaden is a city in central and western Germany and the capital of Hessen. This city has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Emperor William of Germany called Wiesbaden "Nice in Nordic", while the people gave her the reputation of "City of Villas".

In addition to being the political center of Hessen, Wiesbaden is also a famous hot spring resort in Germany. It is known as "the city of springs and flowers all over the city". It was known as the Roman Empire that the place name Wiesbaden evolved from the name of hot springs.

After leaving the train station, walking along the exquisite walk on both sides, a church appeared in front of you. Walk towards the church and passed by a beautiful alley.

It was a little rain in the morning, and it was slightly cold. I went out with a scarf wrapped around the house, and the red and yellow leaves fell all over the ground. Autumn has quietly arrived in Koblenz.

Walking along the river, I found many squirrels and birds running on the grass for food. The townsmen also led their dogs to run, and from time to time they would meet old people riding bicycles to exercise. Koblenz is a western German city. It is at the intersection of the Moselle River and the Rhine River. It was an ancient Roman town. It was the Frank royal residence in the sixth century AD. It was famous for its business in the early days.

The biggest highlight of Koblenzri is the famous "Deutsche Horn". This is where the Moser River flows into the Rhine. On this mini delta, a statue of William the Great commemorating the once unified and powerful German Empire.

The confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle River was obtained in the 13th century because of the arrival of the German Knights. A monument to Emperor William was erected here. From 1953 to 1990, this monument was used as a symbol of German unification.

After the death of William I, the first emperor of the German Empire, in 1888, the German Empire had the idea of ​​building commemorative sculptures for him, thanking the German emperor for his battles for the reunification of Germany in three wars in 1864, 1866 and 1871.

All over Germany applied to build sculptures of their emperors in their own cities, and Koblenz was one of them.

In 1891, the young emperor William II finally decided to choose Koblenz in the Rhineland, and the specific location of the statue was chosen at the intersection of the Moselle and the Rhine.

The million gold marks needed to build the statue were raised by a national fundraising. On August 31, 1897, William II personally unveiled the sculpture of William I. The designer of the sculpture was German architect Bruno Schmitz (November 21, 1858 - April 27, 1916).

The sculpture is 37 meters tall, and the horse riding figure is 14 meters high. In the sculpture, Emperor William I was wearing a general's uniform and a coat fluttering in the wind. The genius beside him held a horse in one hand and a mattress and the emperor's crown in the other. In front of the sculpture is carved with the German Empire Eagle Eagle, which grabbed the snake and scolded the enemy.

This shows the majesty of William I. The base of the sculpture is engraved with the "spring greetings to the motherland" by Koblenz poet Max von Schenkendorf.

Up the monument to Emperor William, look at the Corner of Germany, you can see the intersection of yellow and black rivers. From the monument, not far from the church is the Church of Hertz. The church was built in 1900 and completed in 1903. It is a neo-Romane Catholic church.

It was noon when I arrived at the Church of Jesus in Herz, and the church was not open. But there was a lawn outside the church with many flowers. Sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree in the afternoon to read books is a wonderful way to travel.

Leaving the quiet and beautiful Koblenz, taking the train along the Rhine River to Cologne. After leaving the Cologne Railway Station, Cologne Cathedral appeared in front of you without warning.
