Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle trickling of water? Right here, amidst the hustle and bustle of Frankfurt, stands the Otterbrunnen. Look closely at the playful otters, captured in stone. The artist, Edmund Neutert, crafted them so vividly that they almost seem ready to dive into the water. Imagine them inspired by real otters that once roamed the riverbanks of the Oder. Turn slightly to your left, and you'll spot the Genossenschaftsbrunnen, just a few steps away. Picture this place coming to life in the 1960s when the fountain was first unveiled. It's a little oasis of calm in the city, a gem that lets you escape the everyday for a moment.
