Brander Stier, Bronze sculpture in Marktplatz Brand, Germany.

The Brander Stier is a life-size bronze bull standing on the Brander Marktplatz in Aachen. Its head is lowered and its horns point forward, the tail curving down along the left hindquarter; the dark greenish-brown metal shows lighter highlights along the back and shoulders. The four legs are planted on a low, rounded mound paved with small grey square cobblestones laid in rows.

The bronze bull was erected on the Brander Marktplatz in 1976, made by sculptor Karl-Henning Seemann at the initiative of the local citizens' association. It gave the district a life-size landmark of its own.

The bull likely derives from the Korneliushorn in the coat of arms of Aachen-Brand, a horn that stood for the district's former belonging to the imperial abbey of Kornelimünster. It also plays on the reputed stubbornness, the "stierigen" local patriotism, of Brand's residents.

The bull stands on a low, rounded mound of small grey square cobblestones laid in rows, in the middle of the open Brander Marktplatz. The bronze surface is smooth and dark greenish-brown, with lighter highlights along the back and shoulders. Approach on foot across the square; the paved mound is level with the surrounding ground.

The bull's tail curls down along its left hindquarter, and its dark greenish-brown bronze carries lighter highlights along the back and shoulders. The sculptor, Karl-Henning Seemann, also made the Kreislauf des Geldes fountain at the Elisengarten in central Aachen, donated by Sparkasse Aachen.
