More Information
Location: St. John's Square / St. John's suburb
Artist: Heinz Fiorese
In operation since: 1949
listed: no
History / Description: A bronze statue shows a boy with a long nose, also flows from the water and the other a water-spouting head goose. Both are characters from a fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff: A boy laughs at the market from a woman because of her big nose. He is therefore by this woman, a herb fairy, transformed and taken to her castle. After a few years he comes - as Dwarf Nose - back home, but nobody can recognize him. He returns to the castle. There he can rescue a princess who has been transformed into a goose, in the frying pan. The goose helps him, therefore, to find a certain little herb, so it can be converted back into "normal state". The goose head should now recall the rescue of the dwarf.
Special: The opposite St. John's Gate was part of the fortifications of 1400.
