Löwenbastion am Maschsee, Observation deck at Maschsee Lake, Hanover, Germany
The Löwenbastion observation deck extends over the eastern shore of Lake Maschsee, offering views across the water and the surrounding cityscape of Hanover.
The platform was constructed in 1934 during the development of Lake Maschsee, with two lion sculptures by Arno Breker installed in 1938 based on the Brunswick Lion.
The observation deck serves as a central location for the annual Maschsee Lake Festival, hosting concerts and public gatherings throughout the warm season.
Visitors can access the deck from Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Ufer street in the Südstadt district, with multiple restaurants and cafes located within walking distance.
The structure features decorative railings crafted by metalworker Siegfried Prütz in the 1930s, marking the endpoint of the northern quay wall.
