    The legend has already been described great above. 👍

    This fountain with the metal dwarf figures was designed by the Hildesheim artists Rolf Duwe and Reinhard Kubina.

    It is really worth going around the fountain at least once or sitting on the benches to look closely at the three dwarfs!

    The fountain was donated by the Concordia Insurance Group Hanover on the occasion of its 125th anniversary in 1989. The fountain was inaugurated on May 25, 1989.

        According to the legend "The dwarfs in the castle of Hoya"
        One night a little man appeared to the Count of Hoya.
        The count was startled, but the little man said that the count shouldn't be afraid and listen to his request calmly. The little boy said further: “The next night my companions and I would like to celebrate a party in your castle. Nobody should know about it than you alone. No harm will be done to anyone in the castle, and we dwarfs will always be grateful to you and your sex. ”The count, who knew well that the dwarf people should be treated well, agreed.
        The next night many dwarfs came over the bridge into the castle, roasted and baked in the kitchen, and there was dancing and partying in the Saale. The next morning the little one looked for
        Little man raised the count again and thanked him warmly.
