Otto von Bismarck Monument in Wrocław, Bronze monument in Wrocław, Poland.
The Otto von Bismarck Monument stands 10 meters tall, featuring a bronze statue of the German Chancellor wearing a cuirassier uniform on a stone pedestal.
Constructed in 1900 for 120,000 marks, the monument was dismantled during World War II and subsequently melted down after being sold as scrap metal in 1947.
Professor Peter Breuer designed the statue while Robert Hankow created the pedestal, incorporating inscriptions including 'Bismarck' and 'Grateful Silesians' with the date 1900.
The monument's former location on John Paul II Square now features an underground passage, with the Bismarck Fountain transformed into the Allegory of Struggle and Victory.
A Polish journalist named Leszek Goliński purchased the dismantled statue for 1,000 zlotys from a German gardener who discovered it in the Biskupin district.
