Bodenseereiter, Fountain sculpture in Überlingen, Germany
The Bodenseereiter combines a bronze horseman wearing ice skates with water features, creating a modern interpretation of traditional equestrian monuments.
German sculptor Peter Lenk created this fountain in 1999 as a representation of local writer Martin Walser, generating discussions about cultural identity.
The sculpture incorporates references to German literature through its depiction of a poet on horseback, symbolizing the intersection of art and society.
The fountain remains accessible throughout the year, featuring wheelchair-friendly paths and direct access from the main pedestrian area of Überlingen.
The figure wears ice skates instead of riding boots, reflecting the artist's commentary on writers navigating through German historical events.
