Trauernde Magdeburg, Bronze sculpture at St. Johannis Church, Magdeburg, Germany.
The bronze figure depicts a seated woman wearing a city crown and holding a blunt sword, enveloped in a cloak.
The sculpture, cast in 1906, represents the destruction of Magdeburg during the Thirty Years War in 1631 and survived World War II bombings.
The figure connects to Magdeburg's coat of arms, which shows a young woman in green attire holding a wreath on a red-black castle.
Visitors can find the sculpture in the entrance hall of St. Johannis Church at Johannisbergstrasse 1 in Magdeburg's old town district.
Industrial magnate Eugen Polte commissioned this bronze cast from the Luther Memorial ensemble in Worms for the city of Magdeburg.
