    August Kiss created the statue of St. George as a dragon slayer in 1855, formerly in the large courtyard of the Berlin City Palace, after restoration in 1950 in the Volkspark Friedrichshain, since 1987 in the Nikolaiviertel

    On the banks of the Spree is the 6 m high group sculpture of "Saint George" on horseback. The creator of this bronze sculpture was August Kiss, who impressively demonstrated his ability to depict animals. The horse rears up high above the defenseless dragon lying on the ground, which is threatened by George's lance. George's calm expression and concentrated movement symbolize the moral role of overcoming passion and wildness, the victory over evil.
