Althout exact date of a dedication of the memorial is not known, the monument with nice bronze statue of the Lion was originally dedicated to the fallen soldiers in WW I and after the WW II a black plaque with names of WW II victims was attached to its pedestal. The statue of the Lion was a frequent motif of WW I memorials, as just the lion is Czech heraldic animal. The staue gave during the years also the name to the place. The small square, where the statue is located bears his name - "U lva (At the lion)".
