Friedrich Wilhelm III

            Equestrian statue of Friedrich Wilhelm III. Originally constructed in 1864-1878. Restored in 1990-2015. Heumarkt.

Friedrich Wilhelm III and the Prussians were not particularly popular in Cologne.

"Here rises the Monument of Frederick William III, erected in 1878 to commemorate the liberation of the Rhenish provinces from French domination and their union with Prussia. The colossal equestrian statue of the king on a lofty pedestal is surrounded by statues of the principal statesmen and warriors who coöperated with him in raising Prussia to the rank of a first-class power (Blücher, Stein, Arndt, Humboldt, etc.). The reliefs on the sides indicate the progress of the Rhenish provinces in science, art, commerce, and manufactures. The chief figure and the statues on one side are by Bläser of Cologne (1813-74), the rest by Drake, and others. The reliefs are by Calandrelli."--Baedeker 1906.
