The area in front of the entrance to the station building, which opened in 2004, is flanked by two stone lions bearing coats of arms facing each other. They had previously stood on either side of the entrance steps (from around 1949 to July 21, 2003) and became a landmark and meeting place for the station. Both figures come from a commission (for four lions) from the Nazi era (from around 1941) for the bridgeheads of the Todt Bridge in Salzburg, which was renamed the State Bridge after the Second World War. The sculptor Jakob Adlhart, who comes from Hallein, only completed two figures, which were not erected in Salzburg, but were sold to Linz after the war and erected in front of the station.Source: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linz_Hauptbahnhof
