Light and graceful, he dances across the foaming waves, a large fish in his left hand threatening to slip away. His muscular right hand holds a mighty trident aloft, and behind him a second fish playfully emerges from the waves – there's no question about it, the Neptune in Bad Bevensen is a delight for the senses. While the sea deity appears to be taking a mighty stride as he leaves the fountain and heads toward the town center, the conch horn remains hidden in the water at his feet. A glance at the face of the 2.40-meter-high sculpture "Playing Neptune" by Hanover sculptor Bernd Marco makes it clear, however, that the god is not always someone to be trifled with. In battle with the gods, the giant could spread fear and terror.
