    Ambet Fountain (Landmark) - Hofheim i.T. 🚴‍

    The fountain in the center of town is one of Hofheim's landmarks.
    The story of Ambet, derived from "am Bett," a woman who not only cared for sick people and children, but also generously supported them as a benefactor, was erected here in 1964, surrounded by flowers and a fountain.

    The narrow bronze statue at the "Ambet Fountain" in the city center, which carries her basket to the market like a good housewife, does not reflect a real image of the figure that has probably played a role in Hofheim for thousands of years: the matriarchal earth mother, symbol plump femininity and messenger from the Stone Age, mutated on her Hofheim pedestal into a rather humble housewife. "Ambet" is what the district townsfolk call their carnival leader, who is allowed to lead every foolish lindworm.
