Schleusenspucker Rathenow, Bronze sculpture at City Lock, Rathenow, Germany
The Schleusenspucker consists of three bronze figures and a dog positioned near the canal, with one figure designed to spray water periodically.
During the 1920s and 1930s, day laborers waited at the city lock for work on cargo ships, passing time with spitting contests.
The sculpture represents the working class heritage of Rathenow through the depiction of daily activities of historical dock workers.
Located at the western edge of downtown Rathenow along the city canal, the installation includes a water mechanism connected to one figure.
Created by sculptor Volker Michael Roth in 2006 for the State Garden Show, the figures incorporate an actual water-spitting mechanism.
