The Fountain of Wilhelm II (called "Alman Cesmesi") stands at what used to be the entrance to the Hippodrome. It was built to commemorate the state visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Istanbul. The fountain was built in Germany, dismantled, transported to Istanbul, and re-erected on its present site. It was dedicated in 1901.
