This mounted king, known as the Bamberger Reiter, is on the first pillar of the north side of the St George's Choir in Bamberg Cathedral.
There is a seriousness reflected in this statue (and in others at Bamberg and Naumburg). This is a consequence of the feudal way of life: things may go well or ill for individuals, but nothing must disturb a society ordained by God and devoted to his service.
