Bismarck Monument (Düsseldorf)

The statue was created by Düsseldorf sculptors August Bauer (1868–1961) and Johannes Röttger (1864–1943) and unveiled on May 10, 1899.

The bronze statue, attributed to the Historicism and Wilhelminism styles, depicts the Prussian Minister-President and Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

Bismarck is shown standing in a simple military coat, wearing a Pickelhaube, sword knot, and riding boots, with an Iron Cross on his chest.

One figure depicts an ancient warrior with a helmet, holding a sword in his right hand and a bundle of oak rods in his left arm, symbolizing the military unification of the German "tribes".

The granite pedestal originally displayed the coats of arms of the most important states of the German Empire—Bavaria, Prussia, Saxony, and Württemberg.
