    The monument to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm stands in front of the Braunschweig Castle Arcades. A beautiful place with a lot of history. The monument to Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand is also located in front of the Schloss Arkaden.

      In front of the Schloss Arkaden is the monument of Duke Friedrich Wilhelm on horseback.

        The equestrian statue is made of copper. The monument from 1874 has been back in its original location since the residential palace was opened.

          The two equestrian statues stood on Kurt-Schumacher-Straße for many years and were moved back to their original location by crane after construction was completed.

            Monument to Friedrich Wilhelm von Braunschweig, who was, among other things, a popular hero in the Napoleonic wars

              Friedrich Wilhelm von Braunschweig, also known as the Black Duke (* October 9, 1771 in Braunschweig; † June 16, 1815 in the Battle of Quatre-Bras, Kingdom of the United Netherlands), was one of the German folk heroes of the Napoleonic Wars, Prussian general, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and prince in the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel region. Through inheritance, he was also a mediatized prince in the Prussian state from 1805 as Duke von Oels.

                nice place with matching figures (but in front of the shopping center)

                  It's very impressive, in front of the castle.

                    Beautiful castle, on whose balcony you can walk or drive up, the equestrian statue of Friedrich Wilhelm in front of it - the only thing that bothers you is the facade of the now empty department store opposite

                      Reminiscent of the Ernst August monument in front of Hanover's main train station.

                        It makes sense to take a guided tour through Braunschweig to get more information about the past.
