One of the most interesting for tourists of all ages monuments is conveniently located in the center of Aachen. He was not so many years in the city, he appeared only in 1975, but still, the image "puppet" of the fountain can be seen on postcards representing the city.

Fountain puppet was created by one of the famous sculptors of Germany - Bonifatius Shtinbergom. His fantasy, which is embodied not only in the general idea, but in the execution of each element fountain allows today to say that the fountain of love, not only by tourists but also by residents of Aachen.

In fact, among the sculptures of the fountain can be seen all in one way or another connected with the history of the city. For example, the figure of a horse with a knight - a subtle hint of tournaments held in Aachen, but the doll - evidence that the city has always been the development of textile industry. Interesting figure of Harlequin and Professors identified with education and cultural achievements of the city, and the mask here and there - with the carnival, which is traditionally held in Aachen. We can not say about the remarkable figure of a cock, which is crowned by a fountain. It is considered a symbol of what was once the city was ruled by the French.

A feature of the Fontana dolls can be considered the fact that every person can touch the figure, change the position of the hands or feet, twist them around its axis. Each figure of the fountain is made with articulated joints. The fountain is especially popular in the warmer months, it with pleasure are both children and adults.
