Löwenpudel, Historic sculpture in Osnabrück, Germany
The Löwenpudel is a stone sculpture in Osnabrück combining features of a lion and a poodle into one imaginary creature. The figure stands in public view and can be approached from any direction.
The sculpture was created in 1929 during a period of artistic development in Germany. It emerged in the years between the two World Wars when many new works appeared.
The name blends a lion with a poodle, creating a playful mix of strength and refinement visible in stone. This odd pairing shows how artists enjoyed experimenting with contrasts and unexpected combinations.
The sculpture sits in an open public area and is easy to reach for all visitors. You can view the work from anywhere around it without any special requirements.
The work captures a playful moment in art-making by merging two completely opposite animals into one figure. This fantasy creature surprises visitors who do not expect such unusual combinations.
