Bad Abbach Eiermühle Löwendenkmal

Bad Abbach Eiermühle Löwendenkmal, Architectural heritage monument near Eiermühle, Bad Abbach, Germany.

The Löwendenkmal near Bad Abbach consists of a ten-meter-high stone tablet of Ihrlerstein green sandstone set into the Teufelsfelsen about nine meters above the B16 road, flanked by two over-life-size lions on three-meter pedestals. The lions, each five meters long, two meters high and over fifteen tons, face the tablet and the Danube. A smaller stone nearby carries a German translation of the Latin dedication.

The monument originated from a road construction project completed in 1794 under Adrian von Riedl's direction for Elector Charles Theodore. The original lion sculptures dated to 1796 but were damaged during World War II and later replaced with new versions.

The large tablet bears a Latin dedication to Elector Charles Theodore, while a smaller stone in front of it gives the German translation. The Latin text names Joseph August von Toerring, the court chamber vice-president who had the monument erected, and records the year 1794.

The site sits below Teufelsfelsen along Federal Highway 16, roughly two kilometers southwest of Bad Abbach's center. It is best seen on foot from the road or approached via nearby walking trails along the Danube.

The two lions, each five metres long, two metres high and over fifteen tonnes, face different directions: one looks at the inscription tablet, the other toward the Danube. Their originals were carved from Kelheim limestone; the 1945 blasting destroyed them for a roadblock against advancing American troops.
