Columns and statues to see Dalheim

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).
