Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal, Kaiser William monument at Martin-Luther-Platz, Düsseldorf, Germany
The monument features an equestrian statue of Emperor William I wearing a general uniform, accompanied by bronze allegories of War and Peace.
The monument, inaugurated on October 18, 1896, initially stood at Alleestraße intersection with Bolkerstraße and Elberfelder Straße before moving to its current location.
Karl Janssen, professor at Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, created this neo-baroque bronze statue drawing inspiration from Berlin's national William monument.
The monument stands in central Düsseldorf, facing Saint John Church and North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of Justice, with limited wheelchair access to the site.
The granite pedestal displays relief carvings depicting the fall of Holy Roman Empire and Borussia receiving the crown from federal states in 1871.
