Monckeberg Monument Lion - Hamburg, Germany - Lion Statues on Waymarking.com

The poster of this Waymark does not speak German and Google Translate did not help in determining which of two Johann George Monckebergs were being honored here. The Father was a Senator and the son a famous doctor, researcher and professor. Dates on the monument refer to "1914-1926"... a year after the son's death...so, presumably the Doctor is the honoree. The street here is also named after him/them.

Anyway, this lion sculpture is set on a high column between a sculpture of a man and seal on the left side of the monument and a woman and seal on the right.
The artist is Georg Wrba.
The date is presumbaly 1926.
The sculpture is in front of a distinctive Starbucks building.... which used to be the public hall.

Physical Address: Mönckebergstraße / Barkhof 1 Hamburg, Hamburg Germany 20095 Web Site: [Web Link]
