Bad Abbach Eiermühle Löwendenkmal, Architectural heritage monument near Eiermühle, Bad Abbach, Germany.
Bad Abbach Eiermühle Löwendenkmal is made up of two stone lions resting on three-meter pedestals and a ten-meter stone tablet with Latin inscriptions between them. The monument sits near Teufelsfelsen alongside the Danube River and shapes the landscape of this area.
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 inscriptions blend Latin and German language on the stone tablet, showing how classical learning was rooted in this region. Visitors can still see today how these two language traditions stand side by side in carved stone.
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 heads of today's lions are actually from the original 1796 sculptures and were placed on new bodies after wartime destruction. This makes the monument a blend of original and restored parts from different eras.
