    Nice little fountain in the heart of Würzburg

    The life-size personification of “Schorsch” stands on a pillar. He came from a commentary in the Franconian Volksblatt and shows himself with the characteristic crushed hat and a tobacco pipe in his hand. In his newspaper articles he undertook critical walks through the city and reported on human and official inadequacies. He is shown here as an "eavesdropper". He turns his huge ear to City Hall, always eager to catch the latest information and gossip.

    1976 built fountain showing "Schorsch" the newspaper reporter. He was out and about in Würzburg and "listened" to what people had to say. He then processed this in his articles for the Franconian Volksblatt.

    The fountain looks great, but the background didn't suit me, so no 📷.
