Villmar liegt im Lahntal zwischen Westerwald und Taunus, etwa 10 km östlich von Limburg entfernt. Flussabwärts Richtung Runkel findet sich kurz nach dem Ortsausgang das König Konrad-Denkmal. Die aus Sandstein gefertigte, 2,32 Meter hohe Statue steht auf einem Sockel aus Lahnmarmor und thront über der Lahn auf dem Bodensteinfelsen. Ursprünglich war das Denkmal von einem schmiedeeisernen Gitter umgeben.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
