Town Hall Fountain Hof

The Town Hall Fountain, created in 1979 by the Köditz sculptor Margarete K. Wiggen, gives Hof its character. The figures of children, students studying and playing music, the young couple, and the old man with a cane and cigar symbolize the vitality of people in various phases of life. The ball player testifies to athletic activity. Several guilds – bakers, tailors, chimney sweeps, and brewers – are also represented. The market woman, with her apple baskets, recalls the old tradition of Hof's various markets. A young woman at a spinning wheel, the man with the rolled-up bale of cloth, and the girl with the spindle not only commemorate the fountain's founders, but also the fact that a large portion of this town's citizens lived and still live directly or indirectly from the textile industry. The light and serious muses, represented by the dancer with the two masks, the cellist, and the guitarist, point to Hof's vibrant cultural life. Since Hof is also an administrative center, the representative of this large professional branch with the inevitable files should not be missing.

The fountain as a structure goes back to Margarete Wiggen, who died in 1999.Source and further information:
