Wolf and pine cone

PDF

Monument
The wolf and pine cone decorate the entrance area to Aachen Cathedral.

While the wolf, who is actually a female bear, comes from antiquity, the pine cone was probably cast during the 10th century. It once adorned a fountain located in front of the entrance to Aachen Cathedral. However, the two bronze figures are conjoined by the legendary story of the cathedral construction.
