Free Me...



The other day in our lunch-break we went to the post office in the city and came by this fountain.

We couldn't find any hint, any description and even A, who was born here, had no clue.



I looked it up online, the fountain was designed by Bernd Altenstein, erected October 1981, material bronze.



The title is "Befreiung des Menschen aus starren Bindungen und Normen", "release of mankind from fixedly ties and norms".

Kinda strong, no, sadly they don't give away anything on the motive.

Sorry if I gave you another ear-worm, too ;-)

It's tres dramatique Iris 😊 Sometimes it's just nice to enjoy a piece of art without knowing too many details 😀

Maybe you are right, Grace, just enjoy :-)

Fixed norms? Not here. Trump's outlawed them.

Interesting statue with a fancy name. Can't remember seeing it ever, but of course when I lived there I didn't have a blog (lol, no such thing as internet) and didn't take as many photos as I do now!

Oh, I really don't wanna have that guy come back to Germany (again), RR

Sami, yes, so sad this bunch of technology came to us so late!
