Summary[edit]

Description The Lion of Aspern (Löwe von Aspern) is a monument made of sandstone commemorating the Battle of Aspern-Essling. Created by Anton Dominik Fernkorn and erected in 1858, it shows a dying lion under whose left shoulder blade the tip of the sword which has pierced him can be seen. The lion symbolizes the many dead among Austrian soldiers and civilians despite the fact that Austria had won the battle. The inscription reads: Dem Andenken der am 21. und 22. Mai 1809 ruhmvoll gefallenen österreichischen Krieger (To the memory of the Austrian warriors who honourably died in battle on May 21 and 22, 1809).
