Monument to Paul Furst in Salzburg
Description:
The monument to Paul Fürst in Salzburg is an original example of contemporary sculpture in a medieval setting. Monument to the creator of famous candy was installed in the city at the beginning of the XXI century.
Mozartkugel candy is a true Swiss brand. They were invented by Salzburg confectioner Paul Fürst in 1903 and won a gold medal at the Paris Exposition. Since then, round candy in golden foil is an integral symbol of the country.
In 2006, in the center of Salzburg was erected a monument "Sphere" - a huge golden ball on which stands a small man. The sphere is an enlarged 80 times candy, and the man on top of it is a sculptural image of the famous pastry chef.
