Wikipedia (

Hans Waldmann (1435 – 6 April 1489) was mayor of Zurich and Swiss military leader.
The equestrian monument in front of the Fraumünster (Waldmann monument) was unveiled on 6 April 1937 by the Kämbel guild, aiming to rehabilitate Waldmann who they proposed had been the victim of a judicial murder. It was the subject of controversy for artistic reasons, deemed by conservative critics as being overly modern for the historical city center.
