Schmeltz og hund - Schmeltz' Have - Roskilde, Danmark - Dog Statues on Waymarking.com

I det lille område Schmeltz' Have sidder en lille hund og kigger op på sin ejer Otto Heinrich Schmeltz. Eller er det bare en tilfældig hund, der kigger på busten af Otto Heinrich Schmeltz. Otto Heinrich Schmeltz 14.9.1814 – 4.6.1898 var Roskildes rige købmand. I kraft af sin rigdom donerede han penge til mange bygninger, parker, springvand, skoler og meget andet i Roskilde. Han var en betydningsfuld mand. Måske er busten og hunden et symbol på dette. Som almindelige borgere beundrede man den rige og gavmilde Otto Heinrich Schmeltz.

Busten af Otto Heinrich Schmeltz og hunden er udført i bronze af billedhuggeren Thor Larsen i 2014. Busten er anbragt på en marmorsøjle. Hunden ligner en Spaniel af en slags.


In the small area of Schmeltz's Garden sits a small dog looking up at its owner Otto Heinrich Schmeltz. Or is it just a random dog looking at the bust of Otto Heinrich Schmeltz. Otto Heinrich Schmeltz 14.9.1814 - 4.6.1898 was Roskilde's rich merchant. By virtue of his wealth, he donated money to many buildings, parks, fountains, schools and much more in Roskilde. He was a significant man. Maybe the bust and the dog are a symbol of this. As ordinary citizens, one admired the rich and generous Otto Heinrich Schmeltz.

The bust of Otto Heinrich Schmeltz and the dog was made in bronze by the sculptor Thor Larsen in 2014. The bust is placed on a marble column. The dog looks like a Spaniel of some sort.
