Saint George and the Dragon, Bronze equestrian statue in Nikolaiviertel, Germany
The Saint George and the Dragon monument stands 6 meters tall, featuring a mounted warrior confronting a mythical beast near the Spree River.
August Kiss completed this masterful bronze sculpture in 1855, which initially stood in the courtyard of the Berlin Palace before its relocation.
This representation of Saint George reflects the medieval legend of a brave knight who rescued a princess from a fearsome dragon in Libya.
The statue underwent a complete restoration in 2010, requiring an investment of 120,000 euros to preserve its structural integrity.
The sculpture marks the architectural transition between late Classicism and Neo-Baroque styles, positioned next to Berlin's oldest religious building.
