DE: Vier Reiterstandbilder preußischer Könige und deutscher Kaiser der Hohenzollern-Familie flankieren jeweils die Rampen. Die Dombrücke zierten bereits die jetzt rechtsrheinisch platzierten Reiterstandbilder von Friedrich Wilhelm IV. von Preußen von Bildhauer Gustav Blaeser, Kaiser Wilhelm I. von Friedrich Drake. Ergänzend wurden linksrheinisch die Reiterstandbilder der Kaiser Friedrich III. und, bereits zu Lebzeiten, Wilhelm II., beide von Bildhauer Louis Tuaillon, aufgestellt. Sie verbildlichen das Zeitalter der Preußenherrschaft in der Rheinprovinz.

In addition sculptor Louis Tuaillon made the equestrian statues of Emperor Friedrich III and, during his lifetime, Wilhelm II, which were placed on the left bank of the Rhine (see pictures below).
