Ulenspiegel Fountain

The Ulenspiegel Fountain, located in the German city of Brauschweig, was installed here in 1906 for good reason. Thiel Ulenspiegel, a hero of Flemish folklore, is considered his countryman by many cities of the world, but it was in the village of Schoppenstedt, 20 kilometers from Braunschweig that he was born, and in the city itself he studied as a baker.

In the center of the fountain, which is one of the most visited places in the city, on a high pedestal sits the crook himself and balagur Thiel in a shirt and sandals on a barefoot leg made of bronze. A smile plays on his lips, with which he looks at the monkeys and owls sitting around, from whose mouths water flows.
