“This lion looks strangely familiar, doesn’t he?”. You’re standing before the Löwendenkmal Schalding. A monument erected in 1823 as a tribute to King Maximilian I of Bavaria. The inscription on its base tells his story:”Maximilian I. Koenig der Baiern, öffnete hier, über von keinem Wanderer je betretene Felsen, dem offentlichen Verkehre diese sichere Bahn. Zum Denkmale seiner Fursorge von den Bewohnern des Unterdonau Kreises, im Jahre 1823″. The lion represents more than just the king. He embodies the Bavarian spirit. The determination to overcome obstacles like the massive rock face. This very face that had previously made travel between Passau and Vilshofen a challenge. King Maximilian, with his commitment to progress, had a new road carved out. This road forever changed the landscape and the lives of the people. The Löwendenkmal Schalding stands as a testament to this transformative era. A symbol of progress and a reminder of the enduring power of human will.
