Why does the kyfhauser mountain range have a monument?
American and other Allied Powers after both world wars assume that Germany should have no monuments commemorating its once glorious past. Few of these monuments have survived the Second World War. Kyffhäuser Monument is one of the survivors due primarily to its isolation. It was contructed in the 1890's to show how unification of Germany under Prussian King then German Emperor Wilhelm I in 1871 returned Germany to the glorious times of Barbarossa in the middle ages. At the time of construction Germany was one of the most respected nations in the world. In the United States the people of North Dakata named their state capital after the architect of German unification-Otto von Bismarck. The German language at the time was one of the most popular in American schools. America's involvememt in the First World War changed all that and anything German was vilified. Even today as Germany is regaining respect there remains this perception that the nation should erase its past. Edward R Sharpe

What if the German states were never united?
Germany has always been politically fractured; the modern German state was founded only in 1871 under Prussian domination. Before this time, "Germany" was a territorial or regional concept that included hundreds of principalities and kingdoms, from Austria and Bavaria to Westphalia and Bremen. Even today, the modern Federal Republic of Germany is a decentralized federal state where the constituent states or Laender wield great political and cultural autonomy from the central government. Had the German states never unified in 1871, Prussia and Austria would have still remained the two leading German-speaking countries of Central Europe--one could imagine that, in fact, very little would have been different without German unification in 1871.
