The statue is one of six statues of Prussian Military on the former Wilhelmplatz in Berlin. On the advice of Christian Daniel Rauch the sculptor August Kiss made in 1857 bronze versions of the marble statues. The original statues are present in the Bode Museum in Berlin.
A replica of the statue was gifted in 1868 to Peterhead by William I, King of Prussia, in recognition of Peterhead-born Keith’s loyalty to the Prussian Army under Frederick the Great.[2]
