Columns and statues to see Luxembourg

Blannen Theis, who plays a tune on his violin, has become one of Grevenmacher's most legendary figures. Created in 1991 by the Luxembourg artist Will Lofy, the bronze statue depicts the singer Mathias Schou with his dog. Born in 1747 in Grevenmacher, this artist was either visually impaired or blind, and is said to have been the first to make the Luxembourg language known through the songs he performed at festivals and fairs, a practice that was not at all popular at the time. He died in 1824 in Eich.

Erected in 1855 in memory of the Gallo-Roman site of Dalheim, this monument is almost six metres high. It was destroyed during the Second World War in 1940 by the Germans before being rebuilt in 1957. On each of its sides are various inscriptions in several languages (French, German and Latin). The eagle, a highly symbolic animal linked to the conquest of power, is placed on a globe and has its gaze turned towards the city of Trier (Germany), while its body is oriented towards Metz (France).
