    The Rüttenscheid Market Fountain is located on the southwest corner of the Rüttenscheid Market Square; in the center of the fountain sits "The Market Woman under the Umbrella" on a column. This statue was created from bronze by the sculptor Adolf Wamper from Essen in 1955 (signed "WAMPER 1955"). According to Joachim Petsch (1 994), it is a "high-quality work of art in public space, typical of the time, which represents a market idyll." (S.: Petsch, J.: Bestand Qualitätsvoller Bauen aus den "Fünfziger" (Inventory of high-quality buildings from the "fifties").

    🛍️ The Market Woman Under an Umbrella at the Rüttenscheid Market in Essen is more than just a fountain statue – it's a charming symbol of the vibrant hustle and bustle of the neighborhood.

    Designed by the sculptor Adolf Wamper, it depicts a scene steeped in tradition: A market woman sits under an umbrella, protected from sun and rain, evoking the long history of market activity in Rüttenscheid. The fountain stands where the "Flora Fountain" once stood – a symbol of the market rights that Rüttenscheid received when it was incorporated into Essen in 1906.
