Hermannsdenkmal, a
188 foot, or 57 meter monument to Arminius,
located just south of today's German city of
Detmold at the spot where Arminius told the
Romans to pack their knapsacks and turn back
home.

Arminius' German name was
Hermann, chief of the
Cherusci tribe.
His wife was
Thusnelda.
And the Germans liked him
because he led them successfully against the powerful
Romans.
Case in point was the
Battle of the Teutoburg Forest,
which included the utter annihilation of
Publius Quinctilius Varus
and his team.
