Noris Fountain

Noris Fountain

1994

Two-part fountain system. Upper fountain bowl with an upright female figure. Lower open fountain bowl with a bent, exposed female figure.


Sculptor: Hanspeter Widrig Foundation: Kurt Klutentreter The first draft envisaged a stylized city view in a Nuremberg-specific form with a wall and thick towers from which a slender, tall female figure rises. She holds up a globe in memory of 500 years of Martin Behaim. There should be a banner attached to the globe that says: “Nuremberg trinkets go everywhere.” After submitting an initial model, it was rejected by Walter Anderle (city architect in Nuremberg from 1990 to 2002). Klutentreter reported: Anderle justified this by pointing out that the design was Art Nouveau. Through Anderle's intervention, we came into contact with the artist Hanspeter Widrig, who developed a new design. Although Kurt Klutentreter no longer liked the new design, the order was confirmed and the foundation was created. The donor plaque originally attached to the fountain was later replaced. Today there is a bronze book there from which the last lines of the dedication have clearly been removed.​Feedback gebenSeitenleisten
