    The embodiment of the dumpling thrower who persuaded the city's besiegers to give up with flying food

    Hiking

    The fountain, featuring a bronze sculpture, is the artistic embodiment of the Deggendorf dumpling legend, according to which a courageous dumpling throw saved the people of Deggendorf during a siege. Even though there is no historical evidence for this, the story is popular in Deggendorf and makes the Deggendorf dumplings a symbol of the city. The artist portrays a self-confident woman who, despite her raised arm, greets visitors less as a threat than with a smiling face, intending to draw attention to her story.
