    The equestrian monument on the market square is a reminder of the long history of the natural obstacle racecourse.

    Translated by Google •

      The equestrian fountain of the Cologne sculptor Georg Grasegger (1873-1927) is reminiscent of the English tradition of horse racing on a natural obstacle course introduced in Castrop-Rauxel. The beautification club Castrop had him set up in 1912 in the middle of the marketplace. From a fountain bowl rises a rectangular monolith, crowned by a fully plastic depiction of a racehorse with jockey.

        Very nice place in the middle of the beautiful old town of Castroper.

        A small fountain makes it even easier to let your mind wander ...

        ... of course only possible if not too much operation.
