Hello folks,

This memorial, the Bismarck-Nationaldenkmal, commemorates Otto von Bismarck-Schönhausen (1815 – 1898), one of the most prominent European statesmen of the nineteenth century. He served as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia and was involved in three wars, including the Franco-Prussian War, which he orchestrated to engineer the unification of Germany. Thereafter, he served as the first Chancellor of the German Empire from 1871 to 1890. The monument was created by Reinhold Begas in a neo-Baroque style. Initially located at the Royal Square in front of the Reichstag, it has been situated at its current location since 1938, alongside the Victory Column. This monument is a masterpiece of the Berlin sculpture school and the most imposing representation of Bismarck in Germany.
This memorial portrays Bismarck in his ceremonial garb as Chancellor, standing above statues of:
Kneeling Atlas: symbolizing Germany’s world power status at the end of the 19th century
Siegfried: forging the imperial sword
Germania: suppressing discord and rebellion
Sibyl: reading the book of history
I optimized the sculptures and reworked geometry to lower the tris count, reaching a reasonable size for easy use in game, and utilized textures. The asset is PO-friendly, allowing you to upsize or downsize it according to your preferences.
Credits go to VIMUNE for the Photogrammetry of the original.
