Description:
- Standing proudly in the middle of Marktplatz, 'The Rider' is Dusseldorf's oldest statue and is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding Baroque statues north of the Alps. Created by court sculptor Gabriel de Grupello in 1711, the statue portrays Prince Jan Wellem on horseback. The prince himself was responsible for erecting many of Dusseldorf's most impressive buildings, few of which survived the Second World War.
