Bamberger Reiter

[Erich S]

Here's a nice Bamberger Reiter bust made of porcelain that I just picked up. The Reiter was pictured in many SS publications because Himmler thought that the Reiter was King Heinrich.

Erich -Nice - Heinrich Der Loewe(Lion)-

Thanks Horst, as one writer wrote, the Bamberger Reiter is an Aryan looking East for more lands to conquer.

Well, they went, they looked, but they certainly didn't conquer. I really like your new piece.

Thanks guys, here is a cover of an SS publication showing the Reiter.

Correction, not an SS publication.

Erich - I indicated that this was Heinrich the Loewe(lion) my mistake it is a bust of Heinrich the Fowler who was much earlier than the Loewe - It would have been nice if it was a bust of Heinrich the Loewe as he was the founder of Munich where it all began -

I knew who you meant Horst, no matter who he really was, the Reiter is an imposing and historical figure!
