    The equestrian statue of Margrave Christian Ernst remained unfinished for structural reasons. While the base architecture was designed by the architect Paul Decker, the sculptor Elias Räntz created the equestrian statue in 1711/12 from a single block of sandstone from the quarries of the castle hill.

    The monument commemorates the Margrave's participation in the Turkish Wars and shows him on horseback in full armor. Below him lie a Turk and Invidia, the personification of envy. The famous equestrian statue of the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg by Andreas Schlüter in front of Charlottenburg Palace served as the model.
