Jan von Werth Monument

The Jan von Werth Monument stands on Alter Markt, using fountain figures to commemorate a cavalry commander in one of Cologne’s central squares.

Jan von Werth Monument

Why go

The monument adds a human historical subject to the architecture of Alter Markt. Its sculptural details make the square more than a passage between major sights, and the open setting lets visitors view the work while taking in the old-town street scene.

What to look for

  • Fountain figures present the monument’s commemorative subject.
  • The location on Alter Markt places it amid the old town’s civic spaces.

Useful to know

  • Circle the fountain to see how the figures relate to the square.
  • Fold this into an Alter Markt walk with the nearby Historic City Hall.
