Heinrich Stöckhardt & Heinz Hoffmeister
1890 |
The Anger Fountain consists of a granite obelisk with at its foot two sitting allegorical figures, with under their arms a jar from which water in the basin flows (therefore they look like a river god and goddess). Further it is adorned with putti and dolphins.
A male figure between attributes such as a hammer and a vice symbolizes the machine and weapon industry as well as the craft and arts |
The Roman flower goddess Flora sits in the middle of ears of corn and roses and symbolizes agriculture and horticulture. |
