why do you always need to comment on people's elo? And how many times should we make you understand that many people play just for fun and in their leisure time, they do not care about rating and stuff.

also @ehm42 I was wondering how come you have 18,000+ points? You seem to use this more as "social media" than her?

Meiner Meinung nach der Turm. Es ist meiner Meinung nach eins der wichtigsten Figuren, da mit dem Turm die meisten Endspiele ausgetragen werfen.

As an abstract generality and without any context, the rook is next. But as many point out, any piece might be more powerful in a specific position.

A pawn on the 7th rank

It'll either promote or tie up the defense making the piece guarding a lot less valuable

Rook and then knight

i think the bishops beacuse the occupied all the diagonals and they can be very annoying for the opponent to deal with

The valuation of the pieces speak for themselves, but I would argue that the knight is the most dangerous piece after the queen in low elo chess (<1100/1200). It's much harder to see their movement patterns. A rook is powerful, but much easier to understand and therefore easier to defend against (or use). Same for a bishop. But a knight, that can hop around all over the place, making it very difficult to attack as a defender, because it's difficult to spot its next move. Making it also a psychologically difficult piece to play against, and powerful to play with. Again, this is low elo chess. I think anything 1100-1200 plus it is just the rook.
