Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NIEDERWALD , a broad hill in Germany, in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau, on the right bank of the Rhine, between that river and the Wisper, opposite Bingen, forming the
south
 -western
apex
  of the Taunus range. Its summit is clothed with dense forests of oak and
beech
 , while its southern and western sides, which descend sharply to
Rudesheim
  and Assmannshausen on the Rhine, are covered with vineyards, and produce some of the finest wines of the
district
 . At the edge of the forest, on the
crest
  of the hill above
Rudesheim
 , stands the gigantic " Germania " statue, the national
monument
  of the war of 1870-71, which was unveiled on the 28th of September 1883 by the emperor William I., in the presence of all the rulers in Germany or their representatives. It was designed by Johannes Schilling, and the bronze figure of Germania is 33 ft. high; the
pedestal is adorned with allegorical figures and portraits of
German
  princes and generals. Cogtooth
mountain
  railways run up the hill from Rudesheim and Assmannshausen.
See Spielmann, Niederwald and Nalionaldenkmal (Wiesbaden, 1898).
