Statue of Bavaria
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
The Statue of Bavaria is a bronze-cast statue of a female figure representing Bavaria’s “secular patron saint", the Tellus (Mater) Bavarica. It is also called the goddess of the land of Bavaria. The statue was built at the foundry of J.B. Stiglmair from 1844 until 1850, mainly by Stiglmair’s nephew Ferdinand Von Miller. Since the Bavaria is one of the biggest bronze sculptures in the world, it had to be built out of four big parts and several smaller ones.
