Fikkie, Bronze puppy sculpture in Oude Binnenweg, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Fikkie is a bronze statue of a small dog sitting on a raised platform, with a humorous design element placed beneath it. The work stands freely accessible on a public street in the city.
The work was created in 1963 by Hungarian artist Joeki Simák to mark the hundredth anniversary of a student organization. This commission marked the beginning of a lasting bond between the sculpture and the city's student life.
The sculpture holds special meaning for student groups in the city, who regularly visit and interact with it through decorative gestures. This ongoing engagement reflects how the work has become woven into campus traditions and identity.
The sculpture is accessible year-round and free to view at any time in a public location. Its setting on a well-known street makes it easy to find and convenient to visit.
The statue has been taken away multiple times by competing student groups, but each time it was returned to its original spot. These incidents have become noted events in the student history of the city.
