From wiki,,,,,,Confluence of the Mosel and Rhein rivers at the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, N Germany. Its lower course "twists and turns its way between Trier and Koblenz along one of Germany's most beautiful river valleys.". In this section the land to the north is the Eifel. which stretches into Belgium;   to the south lies the 

Hunsrück.  The river flows through a region that was cultivated by the Romans. Today, its hillsides are covered by terraced vineyards where "some of the best  Rieslings grow".

Regarding the history behind the Brussels Boy from wiki,,,"Manneken Pis". has been repeatedly stolen or damaged throughout its history. Since 1965, a replica has been displayed with the original stored in the  Brussels City Museum.

The earliest mention of the existence of Manneken Pis can be found in an administrative document from 1451–52 about the water lines supplying the fountains of Brussels.  From the beginning, the fountain played an essential role in the distribution of drinking water. It stood on a column and poured water into a double rectangular basin of stone. The only representations of this first statue can be found, very schematically, on a map by the cartographers Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, in which the fountain appeared to be installed directly on the street and not on a corner as it is today. Manneken Pis is depicted again in a painting from 1616.

The first statue was replaced by a new bronze version, commissioned in 1619 by Brussels' city council. This 55.5-centimetre-tall (21.9 in) bronze statue, on the corner of the Rue de LEtuve/ Stoofstraat  and the Rue des Grands Carmes/Lievevrouwbroerstraat, was conceived by the  Brabantine sculptor Jerome Dupuesnov the Elder. (1570–1641), father of the architect and sculptor.
