Narrenbrunnen in Kleve
Germany
This fountain, designed by Anette Mürdter, is located in the Kleiner Markt square in Kleve, Germany. Obviously, this panorama could not be possible during the summer, when the water spits from the mouths of some of the figures. The fountain depicts the leaders of a “carnival society”, represented by the 7 bronze heads (king and 6 council members), 5 of them are water spiting. The heights of the heads on the 5 granite pillars (not all visible on the pano) represent the hierarchy of the depicted individuals. On the other hand, the uniform height of the pillars reflects the commonality of the participating members. In addition to the 5 core granite pillars, there are 3 additional sets of granite stones in the surrounding for people to sit on. The fountain was set as a remembering on joining of a “carnival society” with the counts of Kleve, occurred more than 600 years ago, on this very place.

More About Germany

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
