Yes, I know this statue. When I visited the Carl Hagenbeck Tierpark in Hamburg, Germany in the 1980s, this statue was at the zoo, just inside the Stelligen Main Gate. The man is Carl Hagenbeck, founder of the zoo. And the souvenir booklet says he is "with his favourite lion 'Trieste' which once saved his life." The Hagenbeck Zoo was training ground for Rudolph Mathies, Albert Rix, Hugo Schmidt. ---ToddP
