Guided Story

Do you hear that gentle bubbling? That's the sound of the Triumph Arch fountain here on the busy Lower Laube. Take a closer look at the sculptures. Each one tells a story about the traffic chaos that once ruled these streets. Artist Peter Lenk captured these tales in stone, humorously critiquing the commotion of the time.
