Tips

Built: 2003

Artist: Gustav Nonnenmacher - Worms sculptor

Material: sculpted book > bronze, column > stainless steel, fountain basin > cast stone

General: The fountain of the Nibelungenlied opens the book in a plastic design that made Worms famous as a narrative space: the Nibelungenlied. Inscribed leaves enclose three groups of figures. With artistic freedom, the sculptor picked events from the ambiguous narrative action that could be designed as dramatic scenes in a plastic art object.

They are supplemented by images between the text sheets. The characters not only illustrate the literary work, they jump out of the typeface on the page into the field of vision and present themselves with their own liveliness.

Like the Wheel of Fortune, the Nibelungenlied fountain in Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße (pedestrian zone, also called "KW" by local people), at the corner of Rathenaustraße, was created by the Worms sculptor Gustav Nonnenmacher. The artist recreated scenes from the famous Nibelungen saga on it.

Gustav Nonnenmacher was a German sculptor who had lived in Worms since 1951, but unfortunately died in 2012. The artist's works mainly include bronze sculptures in sacred spaces, fountain sculptures in public spaces and sculptures made of different materials, with which he has taken a socio-political position since the 1970s. It's worth dedicating a little time to your artwork ;-)
