Bismarck Monument Zweibrücken

Against the backdrop of the Bismarck cult, around 500 Bismarck monuments were erected in the German Empire in the form of towers, statues, busts, and columns to commemorate former Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), as is the case here in Zweibrücken. This statue was unveiled here on Herzogplatz in 1896. Back then, he was a hero; today, like so many others, he is unfortunately viewed more critically. His contributions to Germany, however, remain undisputed. This bronze statue by Wilhelm Albermann from Cologne commemorates him so that his significant work and influence are not forgotten.historisches-lexikon-bayerns.de/Lexikon/Bismarckdenkm%C3%A4ler
