Hi Black Watch,

Just in case no one has given you the name and details of this structure, here they are via Wikipedia: "Schöner Brunnen (beautiful fountain) is a 14th-century fountain located on Nuremberg's main market next to the town hall and is considered one of the main attractions of the city's Historical Mile. The fountain is approximately 19 meters high and has the shape of a Gothic spire."

Equally famous is the "Goose Man Fountain" created in the 15th century and is located just around the corner from the Beautiful Fountain, standing closer to the Saint Sebald Church (Lutheran) just off the Market Square. Here's some info: "There are probably few collectors of beer steins who have not heard of the world-famous Gänsemännchen Fountain in Nuremberg. The Gänsemännchen or "Little Goose-Man", is a small, but life-like bronze sculpture of a peasant who is holding a goose under each arm. Out of the beaks of the geese spew jets of water into the basin of the fountain. Also, on the upper part and on either side of the base there is a water-spouting fish."

Both the Schöner Brunnen and the Gänsemännchen Fountain play prominent parts in the early frames of "Triumph of the Will."

Cheers,

Br. James

Those are great pictures!

Having lived in the South for so long, and can't take cold weather anymore, being in Nürnberg during the Christkindlesmarkt would be the only time I would ever want to be cold and see snow again!

Yes, but only when using the left arm to rotate the ring

Yes, but only when using the left arm to rotate the ring

And, of course, one must choose the correct ring as well...

My wife and I very much enjoyed the Christkindlmarkt in Nürnberg, though a bit overcrowded on weekends.

Best,

Hey Greg - It was your Brother that put her up to spinning the thing . . . and then told us the legend promised a newborn baby to those who did!

Shhheewww . . . when I got Home, was I ever happy to read that wasn't really true.
