The Bismarck Monument commemorates former German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and was created in 1931 by sculptor Fritz Behn. The statue depicts Bismarck in a larger-than-life representation, holding a downward-pointing sword, crafted from Rochlitzer porphyry. Its style reflects the monumental fashion favored by the Nazi regime.
