history

At the time of the Weimar Republic and in the year of the height of German hyperinflation , the sculptor Hans Kröger created the sculpture of a soaring horse as part of a competition in 1923: the bronze sculpture entitled "Mobility" was initially set up in Bremerhaven , but later ended up in the Property of the National Socialist Gauleiter Otto Telschow . After the Second World War , the British military government confiscated Telschow's estate in 1945 .

In 1952, the state of Lower Saxony handed the horse over to the Museum for the Principality of Lüneburg , which included the sculpture in its collection and placed the sculpture on a pedestal as an outdoor exhibit in the wall framing park . On the occasion of a restoration of the monument in 2015, the museum director Heike Düselder called for explanatory information about the horse sculpture. After the restoration of the statue, also known as the “Lower Saxony horse”, in March 2016, it was announced that a corresponding documentation board on the “origin and history of the horse” would be set up.
