Monument sights in Heidelberg

  1. A

    Brass Monkey

    On the Altstadt, at the entrance to the bridge side, is a statue of a Brass Monkey holding a mirror and surrounded by mice: touch the mirror for wealth, the outstretched fingers to ensure you return to Heidelberg and the mice to ensure you have many children.

    Karl-Theodor-Statue

    Up on the bridge, through the tower, is the Karl-Theodor-Statue, which makes reference to the local legend that the prince fathered almost 200 illegitimate children.
