The Bugenhagen Fountain on Andreasplatz in Hildesheim, inaugurated in 1995, is a striking bronze creation by Ulrich Henn. Standing 7.5 meters tall with an 8-meter diameter, it honors Johannes Bugenhagen, who delivered the first Protestant sermon at St. Andrew's Church in 1542. Funded by the Friedrich-Weinhagen Foundation, this monument focuses on Bugenhagen's impactful work rather than his persona.
