The Braunschweig Lion, also known as Löwenstein until the late 19th century and still today as the (Braunschweig) Burglöwe, is a monument from the second half of the 12th century depicting a larger-than-life bronze lion, which Duke Henry the Lion had erected as a symbol of his power.

The Brunswick Lion (1166, bronze, copy from 1881) is the oldest surviving large-scale sculpture from the Middle Ages north of the Alps and the first larger figurative hollow casting since antiquity. The bronze cast, probably created by an unknown artist himself in Braunschweig, weighs 880 kg, is 1.78 m high, 2.79 m long and has a maximum wall thickness of 12 mm. Several copies of the Braunschweiger Löwen can be found all over the world, but mainly in Germany. For example in front of the Ratzeburg Cathedral.
