Funny background story and learning a little bit of Latin is included. 👍
It is a statue of a Lion. To understand it you need a little history:
From its four-and-a-half-meter pedestal, the lion smiles wickedly at the square, whose history dates back to the time Schwerin was founded in 1160. For centuries, the market was the political, economic, and religious center of the city, only Here the Schwerin merchants were allowed to exchange food and artisan products in the time of Heinrich the Lion.
The monument to the city's founder, opened on the market in 1995, with four episodes depicted in Heinrich's life, one of the four images carved in stone, the so-called buttocks parade, shows the bare buttocks, which are said to the citizens of Bardowick showed the duke that he was passing. Schwerin and Lübeck were important commercial centers during his reign, while Bardowick lost more and more importance. The other images in the column tell a satirical and critical account of the crusade in 1147, the founding of Schwerin in 1160, and the creation of the Braunschweig lion as a symbol of Heinrich's reign at the Braunschweig residence.
That said, it is an interesting statue and a must stop in the city, since it is in the square with the cathedral and next to the town hall.
Whimsical, exhilarating, brutal & shocking .... narrating a story. All these were my first impressions of the lion's column. Somehow unique and good ... definitely watch it, googling history and make your own opinion! I like it somehow.
That's a grotesque. And you should understand him like that. There is no such thing anywhere in the world.
Nice place and plenty of eating places just cozy.👍🏼
