Story · Friedensengel

You're standing at the Friedensdenkmal in Munich, in the Bogenhausen district. Locals just call it the Friedensengel, the Angel of Peace. Go on, look up. High on a column, a gilded winged woman catches the light. She's six metres tall, even if she looks much smaller from down here. The statue is a copy of the famous Nike, the goddess of victory by the Greek sculptor Paeonius.
