A heroic-scale bronze of Hagen of Tronje, the antihero of the Nibelungenlied, in the moment of casting the Nibelung treasure into the Rhine. The statue (Johannes Hirt, 1905) stands on the embankment near the Nibelungenbrücke, just where the medieval story says Hagen sank the gold.
Worth a small detour — five minutes on foot from the Nibelungen Museum — for the open Rhine view as much as for the sculpture itself. The treasure, the story has it, is still down there.
