Equestrian statue of German Emperor and King of Prussia Frederick III. The statue is located on the parapet of a bridge. It could perhaps have deserved a better location.

Four equestrian statues of Prussian kings and German emperors of the Hohenzollern family each flank the ramps of the Hohenzollern Bridge. The cathedral bridge was already adorned with the equestrian statues of Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia by sculptor Gustav Blaeser and Kaiser Wilhelm I by Friedrich Drake, now placed on the right bank of the Rhine. In addition, the equestrian statues of Emperor Friedrich III were added on the left bank of the Rhine. and, already during his lifetime, Wilhelm II. They illustrate the era of Prussian rule in the Rhine Province.

Equestrian statue of Emperor Frederick III. is located on the left bank of the Hohenzollern Bridge. Frederick III. (1831 - 1888) was German Emperor and King of Prussia.

There are several of these equestrian statues littered around Cologne. No doubt very interesting for some people, but equally I saw no queues to take photos from the general public.

Beautiful sculpture on an equestrian statue and well worth seeing on a base. On the way from the cathedral to the Hohenzollern Bridge or from the perspective of the Rhine harbor. The biography, work and work of Emperor Frederick II...is for everyone History buffs can read it on Google.

2023/05/01 There are four equestrian statues on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne. They are: The equestrian statue of William I: 10 meters high, located at the southern end of the bridge, was built to commemorate the first German emperor, William I. During World War I, the German government dismantled the statue in order to recycle the bronze material. After the war, the German government decided to rebuild the statue and it was reinstalled in 1926. The equestrian statue of William II: 10 meters high, located at the northern end of the bridge, was built to commemorate the second emperor of Germany, William II. The statue was never taken down and remains on the Hohenzollern Bridge. However, it was severely damaged during the war. After occupying the bridge, the US military was responsible for rebuilding and repairing the bridge, including repairing the equestrian statue of William II. Maximilian Equestrian Statue: 3.5 meters high, located at the southern end of the bridge. It was built in memory of Maximilian von Weber, the first president of Germany. It was dismantled during World War II to avoid damage from air raids. After the war, the statue was reinstalled in 1950. The equestrian statue of Konrad Adenau: 3.5 meters high, located at the northern end of the bridge, was built to commemorate Germany's first chancellor, Konrad Adenau. During World War II, it was also dismantled to avoid damage from air raids. After the war, the statue was reinstalled in 1953.

Beautiful views. Very nice view ;)

lovely pleace

All four equestrian statues at the corners of the Hohenzollern Bridge are worth a photo...📷

The main attraction should be the Hohenzollern Bridge which is a great place for photos. The bridge crosses the Rhine river and you can either choose to take the rail or I would recommend walking of course, so that you can enjoy the view of the river banks, the love locks and the koln cathedral from afar.

(Translated by Google) A big and serious Kaiser, looks at the river, and probably thinks, "what's on the bridge, all the locks are hanging!?" ...
