On the ring terrace of the monument, the regent walked through the military formation, welcomed the representatives of the province of Westphalia and gave his inauguration speech. Citizens' companies, clubs, schools and company employees also gathered there. After the emperor gave his inauguration speech, a banquet with a music program followed. However, the imperial couple and their entourage no longer took part in the "banquet to celebrate the inauguration of the Kaiser Wilhelm Provincial Monument" with 370 invited guests in the newly built large hall of the Hotel Kaiserhof at the foot of the monument.

The monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I on the Wittekindsberg at a height of 268 meters is one of the most important national monuments in Germany and the landmark of the city of Porta Westfalica. Located in an outstanding scenic location at the Weser gorge between the Weser and Wiehen mountains

After the death of Kaiser Wilhelm I, Kaiser Wilhelm monuments were commissioned in many places in Prussia. As one of the last major monuments, the personal and national monument places the emperor at the center of the nationally shaped culture of remembrance of the late 19th century, which placed the national communalization in the foreground. At the Porta Westfalica as a place that shapes the landscape, an educational program for national standardization was implemented with the Kaiser Wilhelm monument. The unification of the German Empire as a result of the Franco-Prussian War was celebrated here in the person of the Emperor.
