In Berlin, Friedrich Wilhelm Bülow appears as a neoclassical marble statue created by sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch. The figure honours Prussian general Friedrich Wilhelm Bülow von Dennewitz. Rauch made it between 1819 and 1822, giving a Napoleonic Wars commander a form shaped by classical ideals. Its design belongs to the Berlin school of sculpture.

The monument originally belonged to an urban ensemble with the Neue Wache, Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s neoclassical building. The building first served as a guardhouse. After 1951, the statue left its position beside the Neue Wache and stood opposite it from 2002. Weathering led to the removal of the original marble in 2021. A replica replaced it, while discussion continues about returning the work to its first location. Its neoclassical language presents heroism and patriotism alongside a reference to the Napoleonic Wars. Marble and replica mark two distinct stages in its journey through Berlin.
