A monumental bronze work commemorating the 1288 Battle of Worringen stands in the old town area of Düsseldorf, Germany.The battle, which is said to have claimed more than 1100 lives, led to the granting of Düsseldorf's town charter.
The sculpture (Stadterhebungs-Monument) was created in 1988 for the city's 700th year jubilee.
Spooky features abound, like the skeleton and this fellow, his face frozen in fear as the battle rages on around him.

The person who created these works was a true artistic craftsman. Nice photos too.

JoAnn ... RnR stands for Rochelle & Rich. Today's the last halloween pic, from Gelderland. Tomorrow it's back to our area.
