Otto Lessing (sculptor)

edit

The Lessing Monument, Berlin

Created/expanded by Ultracobalt (talk). Self nom at 07:14, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

expansion verified, interesting, well sourced, pic free but not mentioned. Quirky suggestion:
ALT1... that sculptor Otto Lessing designed the Lessing monument in Berlin (pictured) and his own tomb? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:37, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
  • A less quirky suggestion, and linking to "the other" Lessing (the pictured monument is NOT the tomb):
ALT2... that sculptor Otto Lessing shaped the appearance of Berlin, for example with the monument for Lessing (pictured)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:59, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for feedback - I have a pic of him but cannot verify copyright so did not upload it... and yes since the tomb itself is not the picture, how about this for hook?
ALT3... that Historicist sculptor Otto Lessing, who largely shaped the appearance of Imperial Berlin and built the Lessing Monument (pictured), also designed his own tomb? -- Ultracobalt (talk) 05:40, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
fine with me, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
