Düxer Bock, Bronze memorial statue in Deutz, Germany
The Düxer Bock stands as a bronze goat figure mounted on a 2.5-meter stone pillar, surrounded by a small fountain at Lorenzstraße square.
First referenced in 1512 as a house named 'Im Bock' on Siegburger Straße, the current memorial was installed on October 24, 1964 by sculptor Gerhard Marcks.
The statue commemorates a local legend about a conflict between a tailor and tax collector, which evolved into a story of their children's forbidden romance.
The memorial site includes wheelchair accessibility and serves as a central gathering point for community activities and local initiatives in the Deutz district.
During medieval times, tailor apprentices had to perform a specific ritual of kissing a stone goat after completing their examination in Deutz.
