Fette Henne, Modern fountain sculpture at Britzer Garten entrance, Berlin, Germany
The 4.5-meter-tall iron sculpture stands on a round basin of reddish granite, featuring two identical structures with four cantilevered arms and female torso forms.
Rolf Szymanski created this fountain in 1984 for the Federal Garden Exhibition, while serving as vice president of the Berlin Academy of Arts.
The fountain combines artistic elements with botanical references, representing both a flower temple and the succulent plant Sedum through its structural design.
The fountain operates with water flowing from the head section through the thickened ends of supporting arms into the granite basin below.
A brass plaque along the basin edge contains the artist's interpretation of the work as both a stylized flower structure and 'The Beautiful Gardener'.
