Christian Gottlieb Cantian
(Johann) Christian Gottlieb Cantian (23 June 1794, Berlin - 11 April 1866) was a German stonemason and builder. His most notable achievement was the great granite bowl in Berlin's Lustgarten, weighing about 75 tons, and producing the red granite base and portico of the Berlin Victory Column.
