ブラチスラバの天然記念物・トップ20

この噴水は、フランシスカナー広場にあるフランシスカナー・ニンフェンブルネン（Nymfa Františkaとしても知られる）です。噴水は元々16世紀（約1592年）のものです。今日見られるニンフの像と水盤は1804年に遡り、石工一家のFeiglerによって作成されました。噴水は以前、市庁舎の中庭に移設され、1998年に元の場所に戻されました。

ドイツの語り手であり詩人であるラインホルト・ブラウン（1879年～1959年）は、次の詩で山のハイカーに深く、至福の頂上休憩を勧めています。 „Manche steigen zu Berge mit Hast und halten zu kurze Gipfelrast und sehen nicht Schönheit noch Sonnenschein, sie wollen nur 'oben' gewesen sein, und kehren mit Alltagssinnen und -blick in des Lebens Täler zurück. Willst du wahrhaft gesegnet sein, die Seele dir wandern hell und rein: Genieße, was du erwandert hast, in tiefer, seliger Gipfelrast!“

彫刻と絵画のマイスターであるアロイス・リーゲレは、その傑出した作品において、古典主義とアール・ヌーヴォーの共生を体現しています。特に注目すべきは、「子鹿を抱く少女」の彫像で、エレガンスと優雅さの印象的な表現を伝えています。フヴィエズドスラフ広場に展示されているこの彫刻は、リーゲレの技術的な腕前だけでなく、人間と動物の間の感情や関係を捉える能力も示しています。 作品の細部へのこだわりと調和のとれた構成は、人間の形と自然に対する彼の深い理解を証明しています。室内彫刻や人物彫刻に加えて、リーゲレは数多くの肖像レリーフや記念碑も制作しており、それらは対象の個性と本質を生き生きと表現しています。 しかし、リーゲレは彫刻だけでなく、壁画にもその足跡を残しました。それはプレスブルクのイエズス会教会の壮麗な聖歌隊席に見ることができます。

The elegant fountain directly in front of the Presidential Palace draws all eyes with its clear water jets and ornate bronze sculptures. Surrounded by manicured green spaces and benches, it invites you to take a refreshing break while admiring the palace's magnificent façade. An ideal photo stop and place to take a breather on your tour of Bratislava.

The fountain with a double tank made of white material is decorated in the upper part with a sculpture depicting a sitting girl with a doe. The sculpture is made of reddish stone. On the north side, at the girl's foot, there is an inscription engraved: "A. Rigele 1938, R. Kuhmayer 1942". The sculpture is the work of the famous Bratislava sculptor Alojz Rigele, who, however, did not have time to finish it. After his death, another famous Bratislava sculptor, Robert Kuhmayer, completed it in 1942. The theme of the sculpture was based on a Grimm's fairy tale, and accordingly the name "Braček a sestrichka" (Little Brother and Sister) was also used. https://muop.bratislava.sk/fontana-dievca-so-srnkou/d-2391

Freedom Square is the largest square in Bratislava. In the Middle Ages, there were vineyards on the current square. The square probably came into being in the 17th century after the construction of the Archbishop's Summer Palace on the west side of the square, which now serves as a government building. In the period after World War II, the square and its surroundings were rebuilt. In 1946–1951, the Postal Palace was built on the north side, which now houses the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic; on the south and east sides, buildings of the current Slovak Technical University were built. In 1980, the whole square was turned into a park; in the center there is a fountain called Družba (Friendship). In the middle of the fountain there is a stainless steel linden blossom with a diameter of 9 meters, a Slavic symbol. Excerpts from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A1mestie_slobody

The gigantic Slavín war memorial can be seen from many places in the city. Located on a hill above the castle, it commemorates the liberation of the city by the Red Army in April 1945. The largest war memorial in Central Europe, at 52 meters, towers over the city as an unmissable dominant feature. The gigantic Slavín memorial stands on a hill with a view of Bratislava Castle and most of the city. 6845 soldiers of the Soviet Army found their resting place in this military cemetery. All of them fought for the liberation of Bratislava during the last weeks of World War II. The city was finally liberated in April 1945. The 39.5 meter high pillar is dominated by the memorial, a statue of a victorious Soviet soldier with a flag. The central hall of honor with various statues is decorated with inscriptions of Slovak cities that the Soviet Army liberated in 1944-1945. Slavín was built between 1957 and 1960 on the site of a Soviet war cemetery and opened to the public on April 3, 1960, on the 15th anniversary of the liberation of the city. In 1961 it was declared a national cultural monument. It is an example of the monumental style of Soviet architecture. The monument was placed in the middle of a wealthy district with villas from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the interwar period and modern architectural showpieces. Not far away is a beautiful mountain park - Horský park, which invites you to take a peaceful walk in the green.
