The Heumarkt is distinguished by a large equestrian statue of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm the Third, who sits on his bronze horse near the center of the expansive, paved square. This space in Cologne’s old town traces its history back to the middle ages, when it was a damp, marshy area later drained to host a bustling trade hub for hay, grain, and other essential goods.
