Two monumental reclining lions - one asleep and one awake - welcome you in front of the massive reddish brick gate. For the little history: A swastika dating from 1934 was cut out and stolen during the 2005/2006 restoration. It was considered to be the last swastika still remaining on a public building in Germany and was supposed to be concealed with metal sheeting as part of the restoration work. A plate with the date 2006 replace the stolen swastika to commemorate the completion of restoration work. Cost of entry is for the museum only.
