The Bismarck Monument was completed in 1906. It stands in the middle of Ludwigsplatz. The memorial was created by the sculptor Ludwig Habich and the architect Friedrich. In the quatrefoil, low water basin on a round base stands a higher water basin, which is emphasized by four pillars with bronze reliefs designed by Ludwig Habich. Below the reliefs are four small bronze gargoyles designed as animal heads. Otto von Bismarck's figure, around 3.50 meters high, stands in the middle of the more than 5 meter high stone pillar with the lateral gargoyles.
