| Sorry, I do not know the name of this architecture. I only know it has a little story behind. This is the Lake Bodensee which is between 3 countries Austria,Germany and Swizerland. There are ships going to Austria, Switzerland from there. Konstanz is a city of Germany. My friend told me in the second world war, the enemies did not bomb Konstanz because they thought it was belong to Switzerland. But it actually belong to Germany. |

Hi,Konstanz is the City I live in. I'd like to add some facts: the statue's name is "imperia". The figures on her hand are the pope and the devil.
Konstanz wasn't bombed in WW2 because of a trick of konstanz' citizens: They kept their illumination switched on, so the pilots of the bombers thought they would see a city in not hostile switzerland.
