Ehekarussell
Ehekarussell (Hans-Sachs-Brunnen)
A quirky bronze fountain beside the White Tower, based on the poet Hans Sachs's verses about marriage. Its exaggerated, satirical sculptures are a sight to see.
Created in 1984 by Jürgen Weber, the six groups of figures trace the stages of marriage, from the sweetness of newlyweds to the mutual torment of old age. The design sparked considerable controversy at the time, but today it's a popular spot for photos. It sits at the exit of the Weißer Turm (White Tower) U-Bahn station in the western part of the Old Town. Admission is free, and the fountain's jets look best in summer.
