 Sherlock Holmes

Honorary citizen of Meiringen

Sculpture by John Doubleday 1988, representing Sherlock Homes in pensive mood, some hours before his final and fateful encounter at the Reichenbach Falls on the 4th May 1891 with <<the Napoleon of crime>> Professor Moriarty.

 

Hidden on the statue, or associated with it, are clues - mainly in the form of symbols - to each of the sixty Sherlock Holmes stories. All are visible, though some are fittingly obscure. From these, depending only upon powers of observation, it is possible to compile a complete list of all the stories. It is a challenge and <<is certainly a most curious little problem>>.

 1. Sherlock Holmes - the final problem

It is 1891. After many months of gathering evidence, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is closing his net around criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime. Phycical attacks and threats are made on Holmes who decides to leave London with his friend Dr. John Watson.

 

 2. They journey to the continent

Holmes & Watson travel by train from London's Victoria station to Newhaven and take a steamer to France. Continuing by train they reach Geneva. In Switzerland they spend a charming week wandering up the Valley of the Rhone, then progress toward Meiringen via the Gemmi Pass and Interlaken.

 

 3. Danger follows Holmes and Watson

Holmes believes that they are being shadowed by Moriarty's men. on their crossing of the Gemmi Pass, as they walk along the path beside the Daubensee, they escape a large rock that mysteriously crashes down.

 

 4. The Englischer Hof in Meiringen

Holmes and Watson arrive in Meiringen on 3 May 1891 and take rooms at the "Englischer Hof" (today known as the Park Hotel du Sauvage). The next day, at the suggestion of the hotel keeper, they decide to take a detour to the famous Reichenbach Falls on their way to Rosenlaui.

 

 5. A final view of Sherlock Holmes

On 4 May 1891 Holmes and Watson climb the path to the Reichenbach Falls. As they near the falls a small boy runs up with a leter asking Dr. Watson to return to Meiringen to attend a sick English lady who has just arrived. As the good doctor hurries away he turns and sees Holmes for the last time.

 

 6. A farewell note from Sherlock Holmes

On his return to Meiringen, Watson is shocked to discover there is no sick English lady; he has been tricked. He hurries back to the Reichenbach Falls but finds only Holmes' cigarette case, alpenstock, and a farewell note written by Holmes. Neither Holmes nor Moriarty are to be found.

 

 7. Fatal struggle at Reichenbach Falls

It is deduced that Holmes and Moriarty fought at the edge of the Reichenbach Falls and fell to their deaths locked in each other's arms. Watson records, "Deep down in that dreadful cauldron of swiring water and seething foam, will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and the foremost champion of the law of their generation."

 

 8. The return of Sherlock Holmes

Three years later, in 1894, in London, an old bookseller reveals himself to be Sherlock Holmes; Watson faints in surprise. Holmes explains that only Moriarty fell to his death in the struggle at the Reichenbach Falls. Since then, Holmes has travelled in Tibet and Arabia, studied in France, and waited for the right opportunity to return home. The old friends resume their adventures from 221B Baker Street.

 

9. The problems furnished by nature

After solving many more cases Sherlock Holmes gives up his practice as Consulting Detective and retires to keep bees in Sussex, England. He mostly concentrates on the problems furnished by nature, as he had once said he would do when he and Watson were in the Swiss mountains.

 

10. The game is still afoot

The methods of detection used by Sherlock Holmes are now standard procedures in police detective work all over the world. In homage to the great detective, the police in the UK use a major incident computer system called HOLMES (Home Office Large Major Enquiry System).

The worldwide enthusiasm for the great detective and his friend Dr. Watson continues to grow - in books, plays, films and on television, Sherlock Holmes is more popular than ever.
