My very favourite figurine can be found above the door on the north wall of the Town Hall opposite St. Mary’s. I like it because it proves one of my favourite quotes true: you only see what you know. How many people stand in front of this door every day and do not notice Liubeka!
By the way, she was created at the end of the 19th century. An allegory of the city, lushly shaped, confidently bearing the Holsten Gate on her head, although part of her nose is missing. This is the signet of the German Association of Cities. Easily recognizable also by the key of the city in her hand
Opposite her sits the god Mercury, the god of thieves, skulduggery and commerce, whom you have already encountered on the Doll’s Bridge.
