Guided Story

Imagine hearing the gentle sound of water in the distance. As you walk closer, you find the 'Kind mit Vogel' fountain. It's like a small haven in the midst of the city, perfect for a moment of reflection. Look at the details of the sculpture: the tender pose of the boy holding a bird. There's a story that the bird was once real, so fond of the boy that it turned to stone to stay with him forever. Turn around and feel the calmness of this spot. You might even catch the echo of children’s laughter from the past, as they played around the fountain. And if you look southwest, you can spot the Cemetery Museum and the Great Chapel, each with their own tales from another time.
