Getting wet and ridiculing people. A special form of pillorying for less serious offenses.

A sand bed was created here—a natural, insect-friendly biotope with plenty of comfortable seating for gatherings or relaxing. I'm already looking forward to summer, when people will want to "switch off" here. 😊

The Prince Bull symbolizes power, strength, and vitality and also embodies the importance of agriculture in the region. The sculpture was created by the sculptor Curt Lehmann from Großkneten and erected in 1999.

In Jever, there is a metal lion as part of the monument at Schlosserplatz. This lion, made of steel, is a symbol of the Jeverland region and the chieftains of Jever, and also appears in the coat of arms of the Friesland district. The lion at Schlosserplatz is not the only metal lion representation in Jever. There is also a life-size sculpture of a lion made from recycled motorcycle parts. This sculpture, also known as the "Lion Made of Scrap Metal," is a work of art found in public spaces and is known for its craftsmanship and the materials used. In addition to these two lions, Jever also has a tourist route called "Well Roared, Lion!", which focuses on animal representations in the town, including the two lions at the town hall. (KI)

This square, within sight of the castle, was used as a trading and marketplace even before the city was fortified in 1536, as the fertile marshland for agricultural produce lay nearby. The May Market, St. John's Market, St. Michael's Market, and Winter Night Market were established institutions throughout the year for the trade of goods and vegetables, as well as for entertainment. Livestock was the focus of the St. Martin's Market: up to 1,000 head of cattle, 300 horses, and hundreds of sheep, goats, and pigs changed hands on a single market day during its heyday around 1900. Today, the Kiewitt Market in spring and the Brüll Market in autumn commemorate this time. As a result of this long market activity, many restaurants and hotels, as well as banks and department stores, have settled here. In 1888, the Concerthaus, a social club with halls and stage equipment, was built. Later, for 50 years, it served as a movie theater, bringing a sense of big-city flair to Jever with performances by many artists. (Stadt-jever.de)

The fountain is located near the House of the Faithful and was erected in 1985. A plaque on the fountain tells the story of the "Faithful of Jever" and also commemorates the lapwing. The Faithful of Jever were, and still are, a group of dignitaries and admirers of Bismarck who used to meet regularly at the Rudolphis Inn. To express their special veneration for Bismarck, they sent him a box of 101 lapwing eggs every year on his birthday, April 1st.

The Küsterspütt (water carrier) is located in the middle of the pedestrian zone between Große Burgstraße and Große Wasserpfortstraße, at the junction with Steinstraße. To conclude the redevelopment project in this district, two figures, "The Water Carrier with Dog" and "Theda and Lumpi," were created by the sculptor Peter Lehmann from Bissel, based on an idea by Arthur Sold. The water carrier is a symbol of times past, when there was still a public water pipe and people had to carry water from the well home with yokes and buckets.
