You're standing on the Grotenburg, a wooded hill in the Teutoburg Forest, at the foot of the Hermannsdenkmal. Go on, look up. The whole monument rises more than 53 metres, and the figure itself is the tallest statue in Germany. Until the Statue of Liberty came along, it was the tallest in the entire Western world.
