St Mark's Lion Column

Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany

The St Mark's Lion Column, erected in 1850 at Schlosspark Klein-Glienicke in Berlin-Wannsee, is a spolia monument designed by Ferdinand von Arnim and Friedrich August Stüler. Constructed from granite, limestone, sandstone, and metal, the column represents a notable example of early 19th-century romantic eclecticism, incorporating repurposed sculptural elements within its composition. Its placement in the park reflects the era's fascination with collecting and displaying historical fragments within landscape design.
