UBB.threads Forums General Interest Period History Forum Feldherrnhalle question

Can someone give some info on the center monument in the Feldherrnhalle showing the man with flag,woman,and lion?
Is it of someone in particular or is it something symbolic?

On line I found out the date it was put up,who commissioned it,artist,and something about it being linked to the Franco-Prussian war but nothing particular about who the monument is of or what it's supposed to symbolize.

Thanks for any help.

The cener figure symbolizes the heroic Bavarian soldier. The Hall of Generals ie. "Feldherrnhalle" was built as a memorial to the Franco-Prussian war.

Thanks for responding Erich.

So I take it from your answer the man and woman in the monument are no one specific.

I was really surprised there wasn't more available information(in english)on what this statue represented.

Dean, here's some more info on the FHH:
Built 1840-44 and patterned after the Loggia del Lanzi in Florence.
Statue on the left is Count Tilly and the one on the right is Price Wrede. The statues were designed by Schwanthaler. I hope this added info helps. Best, Erich
