Bismarck monument

The Bismarck Monument (Bad Kissingen), the first Bismarck statue in Germany, erected in 1877 in Bad Kissingen

From 1868 onwards, Bismarck monuments were erected in many parts of the German Empire in honour of the long-serving Prussian minister-president and first German Reichskanzler, Prince Otto von Bismarck. Today some of these monuments are on the soil of other countries including France, Poland and Russia as well as the former German colonies on other continents.
