The gooseies in the shape of the Greek figure Leda. To be marveled at directly on the banks of the Rhine in Mohnheim near the MohnBerges.
The well-known artist and former rector of the Düsseldorf Art Academy, Lüpertz, turned the goose girl into a "Leda", a maiden who, according to Greek mythology, was seduced by Zeus in the disguise of a swan.

Leda by Markus Lüpertz now looks directly at the Rhine at the Rheinpark. The spot on the Rhine is exposed for the statue and is also often mocked as a goose lily. The interpretation of the Greek model may not really be perceived as beautiful. But a certain fascination emanates from her.

"Have a chat with Leda, the new Monheim resident"
09/23/2019
"... Acclaimed unveiling on the home bank of the Rhine and a sculpture that continues to invite discussion even after its inauguration - mission accomplished!
This was discussed for over a year. Since this weekend it has actually been there: Monheim's new sculpture on the banks of the Rhine, the Gänseliesel, inspired in its modern representation by the historical figure of Leda, originated from ancient Greek mythology, first drawn in a year's work and finally formed by Professor Markus Lüpertz, a of the greatest visual artists of our time. And what is the "woman with goose" doing on the Rhine? As a finished result, it continues to stimulate discussion. ..."
