Bismarck-Denkmal, Bronze monument at Bismarckplatz, Essen, Germany.
The Bismarck Monument stands 3.2 meters tall, featuring a bronze statue of Otto von Bismarck wearing military attire with a spiked helmet on a granite base.
Alfred Krupp funded the monument's construction between 1894 and 1899, as Bismarck received Essen's first honorary citizenship for supporting the steel industry.
Bronze reliefs on the pedestal depict scenes of German unification, including a handshake between Bavarian and Prussian soldiers under oak branches.
The monument underwent restoration in 2022, when experts removed the statue from its base for structural examination and repairs at a municipal facility.
The western relief portrays industrialist Alfred Krupp presenting cannons to Bismarck, commemorating the chancellor's visit to Essen in October 1864.
