Dietrich Jürgen Boy

Mercury on the Puppenbrücke , (today replaced by a copy due to weather conditions)

Dietrich Jürgen Boy (* 1724 ; † 1803 ) was a Lübeck sculptor .

He is known for the statues on the Lübeck Puppenbrücke , which he completed between 1774 and 1776. The sculptures have been on display in the St. Anne's Museum in Lübeck since 1984 . There are copies on the doll's bridge itself.

A baptismal angel from him has been preserved in the St. Lorenz Church in Lübeck . Boy also created a group of allegorical figures at the house at Königstrasse 21, the former seat of the Junker and Circle Company . They depict the allegories of peace and harmony and show the company's coat of arms. The building was converted from 2006–2007 as an educational, meeting place and memorial to the Lübeck-born Federal Chancellor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Willy Brandt and was opened as such in December 2007. The rococo portal of the Schiffergesellschaft is also from Boy's workshop.
