The Jobsiade fountain on Husemannplatz is one of Bochum's most famous works of art. He humorously illustrates an old Bochum story.

Bochum homeland associations and citizens had tried again and again to convince the Bochum doctor, local historian and poet of the "Jobsiade", Dr. Carl Arnold Kortum (1745-1824) erecting a monument. In 1986, Deutsche Bank finally made it possible to build a bronze fountain in the course of its new building on Husemannplatz.
Two lines from the scene of the Jobsiade by Carl Arnold Kortum, which the fountain represents, are engraved on the fountain plate:

there was general shaking of the head
The Kortumbrunnen on Husemannplatz, which is also called the Jobsbrunnen because of the scene depicted, is probably the most prominent monument to Carl Arnold Kortum in Bochum.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)
