Türelüre-Lißje, Bronze fountain in Aachen, Germany
The Türelüre-Lißje is a bronze fountain featuring a central statue of a girl surrounded by several figures of mischievous boys atop a granite pedestal. It sits on a red brick base at the entrance of Klappergasse and receives water from the Pau stream.
The fountain was created in 1967 by sculptor Hubert Löneke to commemorate a local story. Its name traces back to the French occupation period of 1794-1814, when the sound of a nearby mill was described as turelure.
The name comes from a local folk tale passed down through generations of Aachen residents. The story about the girl and the mischievous boys remains part of the city's storytelling traditions today.
The fountain is located at the entrance to Klappergasse and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the surrounding area is densely built and can be busy during daytime hours.
The fountain depicts an unusual story about a girl prevented from reaching the toilet by teasing boys. This everyday frustration transformed into public art makes it an unexpected monument in the heart of the old town.
