It is often overlooked that Wilhelm Kaisen founded the so-called "Volkshilfe" in 1945, which collected money for those in need. Volkshilfe was later renamed "Wilhelm Kaisen Bürgerhilfe", which also operated and promoted the construction of this monument. The initiator was the President of the City Council, Christian Weber, who died in 2019.

The Kaisen monument in Bremen-Mitte in the chestnut grove Am Wall / Herdentor was erected on May 22, 2012 to mark Wilhelm Kaisen's 125th birthday and is included in the list of monuments and statues of the city of Bremen.
The bronze monument comes from the sculptor Christa Baumgärtel. Two pillars symbolize Kaisen's construction work: Behind him the war destruction and his eyes are on the new houses, true to his motto: "Kiek not in Muusloch, kiek in Sünn!"
From Baumgärtel (* 1947) in Bremen came a bronze bust of Kaisen in front of the local office in Borgfeld (1985), the memorial to Mudder Cordes in Knochenhauerstraße (1987), Mann und Frau (1992) and the Vegesacker Wal-Kiefer (1980 or 1987) ).
Wilhelm Kaisen (1887-1979) was a Bremen journalist and politician of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). From 1920 to 1928 and 1933 he was a member of the Bremen Citizenship and from 1928 to 1933 Senator for Welfare in Bremen. He spent the time of National Socialism in Bremen with his family as a farmer in today's Borgfeld district of Bremen. In 1945 the American occupying powers appointed him to the Senate and shortly afterwards to the President of the Senate and Mayor of Bremen. Kaisen was re-elected six times. It decisively shaped the political and economic reconstruction of the Hanseatic city until 1965 and is considered a symbol of reconstruction in Bremen.
