Weserspucker, Bronze sculpture in Bäckerstraße, Minden, Germany

The Weserspucker stands 1.20 meters tall at the Poos intersection, featuring a figure that periodically spouts water from its mouth.

The bronze statue, created by sculptor Theodor Henke from Bad Oeynhausen, was initially installed in 1978 through a donation from Max Weidenfeller company.

The sculpture represents the character of Minden's residents through its water-spitting action, reflecting local traditions and social behaviors of the region.

Visitors can find the sculpture at the western edge of Poos square, at the intersection of Bäckerstraße and Scharn in central Minden.

The statue was relocated in November 2014 as part of the city center renovation project, maintaining its function as a social meeting point.
