This is not just a little statue, no, the Karl-Marx Monument is more than 13 meters high and weighs about 40 tons. Don't want to get that on your foot! Forgot who Karl Marx was? Here you can read all about him.

The baroque facade of the four-story 18th century Siegertsches Haus is stunning. When you look at it, try to think about the fact that this building was destroyed during WWII. They did an impressive job restoring it, and now you can have an idea of how the city used to look.
