    Gänseliesel is the name for a female figure in connection with domestic geese. Liesel is a short form of the female first name Elisabeth.

    The figure of the Gänseliesel was often thematized by artists in the form of paintings or sculptures. As a decorative element of buildings and fountains, reliefs or statues can be found in many places that show a goose girl. Often these are depictions of everyday situations in which maids or girls tend the geese or bring them to the market.

      The Gänseliesel in Göttingen is considered to be the most kissed woman in the world. It has stood on the old market square in front of the historic Göttingen town hall since 1901.

        Beautiful fountain on the market square in front of the old town hall in Göttingen in a beautiful ensemble. If you're lucky, you can watch freshly graduated doctoral students climbing the fountain and kissing the goose bunny.
