Friedensengel Munich photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The name 'Friedensengel' in fact glosses over historical
reality. The monument portrays Athena, goddess of wisdom and
peace, but also goddess of 'strategic' war, and she
holds Nike in her hand, the goddess of victory; an
allegory illustrating the victorious peace which followed the Franco-German war of 1870-71.
