The Bismarck Memorial is the largest in the world. It is 34 meters high. The Casparus Bastion, part of Hamburg's ramparts, stood on the site of the memorial. It was demolished in 1804, and the site was converted into a landscaped garden.

You can think what you will of this monument, but it belongs to the Port of Hamburg, like many other things. It was built when Germany still harbored dreams of becoming a great power, which then completely failed.

The Bismarck Monument in the city of Hamburg, with a total height of 34.3 meters, is the largest Bismarck monument in the world. The statue itself is 14.8 meters high.

The granite statue of the first German Chancellor, Prince Otto von Bismarck, stands on the edge of the Neustadt district, above the Landungsbrücken (landing bridges) at the Port of Hamburg, on the Elbe River Heights, 27.3 meters above sea level, in the Old Elbe Park in the Hamburg Wallanlagen Park. At the initiative of the banker Max von Schinckel, the monument was planned and constructed between 1901 and 1906 by the architect Johann Emil Schaudt and the Berlin sculptor and Art Nouveau artist Hugo Lederer.

Who would have thought that old Bismarck would come out this big? Everyone in Hamburg knows the monument and has already seen it from somewhere. It is also hard to miss. The first Chancellor of the German Empire (in office from 1871 to 1890) looks over Hamburg on a hill in the Old Elbe Park. His gaze is directed towards the Elbstromland.

The monument is the largest and probably also the most famous Bismarck statue in the world. Johann Emil Schaudt and Hugo Lederer were responsible for the monument as architects and sculptors, respectively. Planning, competition and implementation took five years. It was inaugurated in 1906. One of the co-initiators for the monument was the then Mayor of Hamburg, Johann Georg Mönckeberg.

The monument itself measures a total of 34.3 meters, with the Bismarck figure being 14.8 meters high. If you stand at the foot of the base and look up, you will notice the imposing sword, which is eight meters long.

Around the base of Otto von Bismarck's monument are figures that are supposed to represent the Germanic tribes.
