The Monheim Geyser is a natural phenomenon created by hand by the artist Thomas Stricker. After around 64 hours of sunshine, the geyser becomes active. First, clouds of mist appear until the eruption itself ends in a 12 m high fountain

"... The Monheimer Geyser by artist Thomas Stricker is a natural phenomenon created by hand, which even manages to bring the otherwise seemingly restless traffic to a standstill for minutes at a time. Its height is announced by ever-increasing clouds of mist and then finally reaches a height of twelve meters The rising column of water fascinates with its constantly changing sculptural forms. The eruptions appear chaotic, wild and unpredictable.
How long will the Monheim Geyser remain dormant until the next time? Nobody knows! There are sometimes days, often weeks or even months between outbreaks. Because only when 64 hours of sunshine have been accumulated does things slowly become more active again around the mystically fogged island in the roundabout on the Rhine. Now a more concrete, but still vague, forecast can be made. Now the wind and temperature have to be right so that the next four-hour eruption phase can take place.
So following the weather in Monheim is worth it - visiting the Monheim geyser anyway. ..."

From December 1st, 2022 to March 1st, 2023, the geyser will take a three-month winter break because the wind strength and temperature have to be right. The 64 hours of sunshine will be collected again from March.
The next eruption is expected tomorrow between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. There are then again four large eruptions and also smaller ones with a lot of fog.
