Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal, Hamburg

The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument features a bronze statue of Wilhelm I in military uniform mounted on horseback atop a six-meter granite pedestal.

Originally unveiled at Rathausmarkt in 1903, the monument was relocated to its present location near the Justice Forum in 1930 due to traffic considerations.

The monument includes four allegorical figures representing different aspects of German society during the formation of the German Empire under Wilhelm I.

The memorial stands in a landscaped park setting with paved pathways, offering wheelchair accessibility and various walking routes for visitors.

The monument design originated from Johannes Schilling's 1889 competition entry for the Berlin National Monument, later modified for Hamburg's specifications.
