Summary
| Description |
English: Statue of two playing bears in the Ripperdastraat. This statue is a memorial to the Hofje van Codde en van Berensteijn. The statue and the hofje were both formerly located at the train station square in Haarlem, the Netherlands. Temporarily placed in the Ripperdastraat, this statue was ordered in 1969 when the Haarlem Railway Station annexed the land formerly owned by the Hofje that then relocated to the Jos Cuyperstraat. The statue was placed on Stationsplein in 1978. The bears were a reference to the "bears" in the coat of arms of the family Berensteijn that founded the Berensteijn half of the hofje foundation still bearing that name. The Codde hofje was added in 1731. The bears of the family Berensteijn (also spelled Berensteyn) heraldic shield were originally wild swine "beren", not brown bears, as this sculpture suggests. |
