Here we find Joe at the “end of history!” Really! On the hill behind him, the French Emperor was digging in for the big battle. The romantics were a part of the opposition, planning their moves at a small tavern a few meters to Joe’s left. (The tavern is still there and the food and drink are still wunderbar!) The bridge crosses the Saale River and the road carries a footsore academic into the town where Professor Hegel is teaching, declaring tomorrow’s battle to be the “End of History!”
