Fiskergutten is the German word for "fisherman's boy." The sculpture was created in 1967 by sculptor Knut Skinnarland and is intended to symbolize youthful anticipation of the future.

Aksel Thalberg Holm (1890-1947) was born in Alesund and grew up in Molovein. He took over the company Oluf Holm A/S founded by his father and significantly expanded the business both at home and abroad. The main product was medicinal oil. The company dominated the world market. When war broke out in 1940, Holm was German consul and member of the Presidium. He gained a central position when the Presidium asked him to negotiate with the squatters, a task for which he received great thanks from the city's judicial authorities. For this legacy, as well as for his donations to the cultural life in the city, the municipality has the opportunity to connect this place. [ Source: https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=243247 ]

Fiskergutten is a sculpture in the Norwegian city of Ålesund. It was created in 1967 by the sculptor Knut Skinnarland and is intended to symbolize youthful expectations of the future. Fiskergutten, meaning "fisherman's boy" in English, stands on the Apotekertorget square in the city center, directly on the shore of the Ålesundet. To the west is the Svaneapoteket, used as an Art Nouveau center. While today the name "fisherman's boy" is common, Skinnarland originally used a name meaning "greenhorn" to express youthful zeal and expectations of the future.[1] A copy of the sculpture is located in Akureyri, Iceland, one of Ålesund's twin cities. In the immediate vicinity is the sculpture Sildekona, reminiscent of the herring women. [Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiskergutten ]
