Magdeburger Reiter on the Market Square

Magdeburger Reiter on the Market Square

The biggest change in its presentation came in the 1960s. The original stone sculpture was moved for conservation reasons to the Kunsthistorisches Museum (local history and art museum). A bronze copy made by Heinrich Apel complete with flagstaff but without imperial eagle was installed in its place on the market square in 1966. The sculptures on the market square were gilded in 2000
