    Going back to the regionally known rhyme: "In Ilmenau the sky is blue, when the goat is dancing with his wife."

    Cute building with a beautiful saying

    On the sides of the base is the saying: In Ilmenau, the sky is blue. The goat dances with his wife. Below the banner on the four sides are the spouts. A pair of dancing bronze goats stands on the base. The sculpture was created by Volkmar Kühn.
    The banner parodies a folk song that was published in 1880 at the latest and was initially related to Lindenau and, along with variations, began like this: Now we're going to Lindenau, there the sky is blue, there the billy goat is dancing with his wife.
