Guided Story
Take a moment to look up at the towering figure of Poseidon here by the Rhine. Can you feel the power of the sea god resonating through the air? Jo Kley, the artist, captured not just his might but a sense of timelessness with a modern edge. Glance towards the river, and you'll see how the waves seem to play at his feet, almost as if greeting their master. Did you know Poseidon was also known as the Earth-shaker, capable of causing earthquakes? It's fascinating how this connection between water and earth is mirrored in his form. Behind you, the Old Town Hall stands as a reminder of Bingen's rich cultural tapestry. Here, you stand at the crossroads of ancient myth and contemporary life.
