    The two lying bronze elk were created by Rudolf Siemering in 1893 (second casting in 1898).

      More than just a deer. 😉
      But a beautiful spot.

        A beautiful square within the large Tiergarten park. Surrounded by bronze animal sculptures, the "Amazon on Horseback" stands in the center of the square.

                In 2020, 75 years after the end of World War II, Floraplatz was reconstructed as it was designed in 1900 at the request of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
                Four life-size, typically North American bronze animals, resting on granite pedestals, line Floraplatz in two spacious semicircles, centered on the "Amazon on Horseback" by Louis Tuaillon (1862-1919). The southern semicircle is formed by two elk, a longhorn bull, and a grizzly bear. The northern semicircle is formed by two resting elk on the left and right, and two bison in the center.
                During a studio visit to the sculptor Rudolf Siemering (1835-1905), Wilhelm II had seen the life-size animal figures that Siemering had created for the George Washington Memorial in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dedicated in 1897. The equestrian statue of George Washington was surrounded by life-size animal figures typical of North America. The Kaiser commissioned replicas for the "Floraplatz," where they were placed in 1900 and intended to commemorate the Tiergarten's tradition as a hunting ground for the prince-electors.
