THE “POILU” STATUE, WHICH REPLACES THAT OF WILHELM I.
It was on this terrace that the bronze equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I. (1892) used to stand. According to the inscription on the pedestal the statue was erected by the Emperor’s “grateful people.” The conqueror was represented pointing to the Moselle and the powerful forts of Plappeville and St. Quentin which protect the town.
