Comment on Dying Lion (The Lucerne Lion) - a national-political monument with built-in controversy
Cf. Daniel Furrer, Gründervater der modernen Schweiz. Ignaz Paul Vital Troxler (1780-1866): Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Freiburg (CH) (Ph.D. dissertation: University of Fribourg, Switzerland), available in PDF format here.
Of greatest relevance is the chapter on Troxler’s political involvement in discussions about the lion monument in Lucerne; see Das Luzerner Drama: Im Brennpunkt der Politik, pp. 269-279.
