    The figure “Otto’s Lion” on the town hall overlooking the Obermarkt was created by sculptor Joscha Bender as a “creeping guardian”, in contrast to the sublime “guardian lions” on the Otto fountain.

    Otto's Lion silver sculpture, located along the Silver Trail in Freiberg.

    Information:

    It stands in the Upper Market Square, next to the town hall, and was installed in the summer of 2024.

    The Silver Trail in Freiberg is an interactive walking tour that leads through the city center and uses larger-than-life silver sculptures to depict the history of the city and its mining industry.
