HH = Hummel Hummel - - - Mors Mors... by globetrott
Hans Hummel was the last water-carrier in Hamburg at a time when only a few houses still did not have their own water-supplies back in the middle of the 19th century. Hans Hummel used to walk through Hamburg with his 2 heavy vats of water and the nasty children used to shout after him : Hummel Hummel.......his answer was mostly just : Mors, Mors (@rse, @rse...)
HH is printed at all of the licence-plates of cars in Hamburg NOT for Hummel Hummel, BUT of course for "Hansestadt Hamburg"
For more than 150 years the water-carrier Hans Hummel became a symbol for hamburg and a few years ago some clever tourism-managers had the funny idea of creating 100 such "Hummels", designed by different artists. Not a bad idea and maybe a lot better than the cows, lions, bears etc. that other cities had.
All of them have the same sculpture, EXCEPT one that has a different hat - see my picture !
