Guided Story

Imagine standing at the edge of a fairytale. This fountain in front of you tells the story of the fisherman and his wife, whose endless wishes lead them into a spiral of discontent. Look closely at the intricate details crafted by Eva Peschel. Do you feel the tension in their expressions? Behind you, near the Carl Gustav Carus monument, you might almost hear the sea's whispers bringing the wife's wishes ashore. This sculpture is more than a fountain—it's a gateway to the moral lessons left by the Brothers Grimm. A place to pause and reflect.
