This monument was constructed in 1902 in memory of the foundation of the German Reich. You can see this dominant monument from far away. Kaiser Wilhelm is sitting on his horse in front of a 34 meter tower. On either side of him there is a monument of Bismarck and Moltkes. The monument did change apperances over time. When first built there were many more additions like the two princes and the tower was different. It got its present shape during the Nazi time.
