Rüdiger-Brunnen, Architectural heritage fountain in Kaufbeuren, Germany
The Rüdiger-Brunnen fountain features a 2.90-meter bronze statue of Rüdiger von Bechelaren, a character from the Nibelung saga, depicted in prayer with his sword.
Between 1931 and 1945, the fountain stood as a symbol of Jablonec nad Nisou in Czechoslovakia before being reconstructed in 1970 at its current location in Kaufbeuren.
The statue was created in 1904 by Berlin sculptor Franz Metzner, originally intended for placement on Vienna's Ringstrasse in front of the Votivkirche.
The fountain stands in the Neugablonz district of Kaufbeuren, near Sudetenstrasse, in a park setting in front of the Sacred Heart Church.
The Society for the Promotion of German Art and Science acquired the Rüdiger figure, which the city of Jablonec purchased in 1924 for 50,000 Czechoslovak crowns.
