Hühnerdieb is a fountain monument by the Berlin sculptor Hermann Joachim Pagels, which was unveiled at Christmas 1913 at the Aachen chicken market. It consists of the bronze figure of a chicken thief, which was mounted on a shell of shell limestone. The figure shows the moment when the thief discovers, instead of stealing the hen, that he has stolen a cock, which crows and thus betrays him. However, the scene embodied in the figure is without a historical model (Wikipedia).

The chicken fountain was designed in 1913 by Hermann Joachim Pagels. On it there is a sculpture of a chicken thief who stole not only a chicken but also a rooster.
However, he is betrayed by the crowing of the rooster.
The sculpture is a copy from the 50s.
Only the wreath with the chicks is still original.
