Stoltze-Brunnen by Friedrich Schierholz, 1892
Hühnermarkt, Altstadt
Frankfurt, September 2024
“The Stoltze Fountain is a fountain built in the 1890s on the Hühnermarkt square in the old town of Frankfurt am Main; it is a listed building. During the reconstruction of the Römer (Römer), from 1981 to 2016, it stood on Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz behind St. Catherine's Church. The Stoltze Fountain is a monument in the Neo-Renaissance style. It was designed by Friedrich Schierholz in honor of the poet and writer Friedrich Stoltze (1816–1891) and erected on the poet's birthday, November 21, 1892, on Frankfurt's Hühnermarkt, in the immediate vicinity of Stoltze's birthplace, Zum Rebstock . The ceremonial inauguration took place on November 2, 1895. The Freedom Fountain, which had stood on the Hühnermarkt since the end of the Second World War, was moved to the Roseneck on the Weckmarkt.” (Stoltze-Brunnen, Wikipedia)
