Ehekarussell, Bronze fountain at White Tower, Nuremberg, Germany
The Marriage Carousel Fountain features detailed bronze sculptures depicting six different stages of married life through expressive human and animal figures.
Sculptor Jurgen Weber created this fountain between 1977 and 1981, with its installation completed in 1984 to conceal a subway ventilation shaft.
The fountain draws inspiration from Hans Sachs's poem 'The Bitter-Sweet Married Life,' representing marriage experiences from passionate love to death.
Located in the pedestrian zone near White Tower station, this fountain provides orientation points for exploring Nuremberg's central district.
The fountain incorporates a water filtration system designed by the Leichtweiss Institute, integrating functional metro ventilation with public art.
