Ehekarussell

While exploring Nuremberg, I came across the Ehekarussell Fountain, and it was one of the highlights of my walk. This fountain is truly impressive, depicting the story of marriage in a very symbolic and imaginative way — from moments of joy to challenges. The sculptures are detailed and captivating, making the whole piece feel like a story carved in stone. The atmosphere around the fountain is lively, with people taking photos or simply enjoying the view. For me, it felt more like an open-air art gallery than just a fountain. I definitely recommend stopping by, especially around sunset when the lighting makes it even more magical.

Walk around this beautiful bronze fountain to follow a couple's whole life, from the sweetness of first romance to the messiness of conflict, and finally, a haunting skeletal dance. The brutal honesty and brilliant level of detail make it a truly one-of-a-kind sight.

One of the most fascinating fountains I've seen in a long time. Pitty not more info is displayed about its origin.

Inside the medieval walls of the city, between past and present, the “Marriage-Merry-Go-Round" fountain from 1984, created in 4 years by Jürgen Weber. Inspired by the ironic medieval poem of Hans Sachs “Das bittersüße ehlich Leben”, narrating the joys and sorrows of life as a couple that can be summed up in these stanzas : “She is my virtue and my vice, She is my wound and also my plaster”.

Very detailed and beautiful structure

A strange, unusual fountain."Ehekarussell" meaning the marriage merry-go-round...I'm not quite sure I got the idea but it's an interesting monument and it worth more than a short look. Different angle, totally different view.

A captivating collection of sculptures adorns a petite fountain, situated just before the iconic White Tower, creating a whimsical and enchanting scene.

Impressive fountain showing sculptures made of painted bronze with a white marble base. It shows the ups and downs of a marriage. Pretty comic and, in a certain way, accurate.
