Fischerjungen-Brunnen: A Symbol of Düsseldorf's Heritage
The Fischerjungen-Brunnen, or Fisherboys Fountain, stands as a tribute to the region’s fishing heritage. Installed in 1970, it was created by artist Joseph Beuys and is situated in the heart of Düsseldorf.
This monumental fountain features two bronze figures of young fishermen, intricately detailed to represent the city’s connection to the Rhine River. The fountain provides both visual and auditory relaxation, with water cascading gently around the sculptures. It is not only a significant artistic installation but also a gathering point in the bustling city.
