Two rather new monuments recall Duke Heinrich der Löwe (Henry the Lion) of Saxony, the founder of the town. Both were erected in 1995to honour the 800th anniversary of his death.
Next to the steeple of the Dom a copy of the medieval lion monument in Heinrich’s residence Braunschweig has been put up.
The monument by Peter Lenk in market square also presents a statue of a lion on top of a high pedestal. The relief on its four sides show Heinrich’s deeds. However, they do paint neither a friendly nor a heroic image. Heinrich is depicted slaying the men in battle and riding along a row of women lining up to be copulated.
Schwerin is situated in the southwestern part of the Federal State Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. With about 110,000 inhabitants it is the second largest city of the state. On an island in Lake Schwerin is idyllically situated the fairytale castle, the landmark of the town.
Schwerin was first mentioned in 1018. After 1358 the city served as the capital of Mecklenburg.
