    At the Westfleth / transition to the Ostfleth, the Flethenkieker leans casually against the Fleth railing.The Flethenkieker is a life-size bronze culture by the sculptor Carsten Eggers from 1989.

      The Flethenkieker, a sculpture created by the artist Carsten Eggers, had been in Hamburg since 1548 to monitor the water depths in the Elbe and the canals. This gave rise to the nickname "Flethenkieker".

        This sculpture, created by Carsten Eggers in 1989, has little in common with a real Flethenkieker: the men who sounded the alarm during floods and paid attention to the water depths certainly wore different clothes. Nevertheless, the sculpture is a popular photo motif and apparently also a good luck charm, as you can see from the rubbed hand. The detailed modeled Flethenkieker was then cast from bronze.
