Guided Story

Can you feel the energy in the air? It's like the Four Horses of Heinrich Schwarz are galloping through time since 1970. Look closely, and you'll see how they seem to move, capturing strength and motion in their stillness. Did you know that Schwarz designed them to change their expression depending on where you stand? Try circling them, and notice how the light and shadows play across their muscles. Just behind you, at the Horse Market Square, imagine the lively bustle of real horses that once trod there. A bit further north, near the registry office, couples often see these horses as a symbol of embarking on life's race together. These sculptures aren't just art; they're a vibrant piece of the city's heartbeat.
