Ludwig Gies was a German sculptor, medallist and professor of art. He is best known for his crucifix in Lübeck Cathedral, vandalized in March 1922 and later considered a typical work of degenerate art, and his famous Federal Eagle (1953), which is hung at the front of the Plenary Hall of the Reichstag in Berlin.
