Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal, Monument on Venusberg hill, Bonn, Germany
The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal features basalt columns rising up to 8 meters high, arranged in a pyramid formation behind a sandstone and granite memorial stone.
The monument was inaugurated on March 23, 1897, commemorating the centenary of Kaiser Wilhelm I's birth, during a period of German national pride.
Local residents refer to the structure as 'Spargeldenkmal' due to its distinctive shape resembling asparagus stalks rising from the forest landscape.
Visitors can access the monument through marked hiking trails via Hauweg and Rosenburgweg paths, which connect to the broader Bonn city forest network.
The bronze ornamental portrait of the monarch combines with neuromanesque architectural elements, creating a structural composition within the 49-hectare woodland setting.
