 "et Fisch-Pueddelche" by Mariajoy
Ok... so now I know I shall pass this fascinating info on to you, dear reader!
The "FBWF" is situated in the Fischmarkt where for centuries fish from local rivers and ponds were sold. The statue stands opposite the Taufkapelle (Baptistry) where, up until Napoleonic times all Aachen children were baptised.
"Et Fisch -Pueddelche" is the name of this fountain designed by Lederer at the beginning of the 20th C. "Pueddelche" is a nickname for a small child in Aachen. At the time Lederer designed this fountain it would have been unthinkable for the prudish, puritanical towns people to have a statue of a naked man in their streets! So, instead, he erected a statue of a naked baby holding two fish to represent the fish market and no one was offended.
It seems that in the past this statue often disappeared and has at times even been guarded by policemen!!
My fondest memory will always be the Kakao!
