    Tips

    The Duke Augustus Monument on the town market in Wolfenbüttel differs from many equestrian monuments in one crucial respect: The Duke is not seated on the horse, but rather standing beside it. But why is that? Why isn't Duke Augustus sitting on his horse?

    The Duke isn't sitting on his horse because he is a peacemaker and not a military leader like Bonaparte or Frederick II, who rode into battle mounted on their horses.

    He is a thoughtful ruler who cares for his people or his horse and leads them to water.
