The Three Fates Fountain
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
The Three Fates Fountain, located in St. Stephen's Green, is a bronze sculpture representing the mythological figures of destiny. Created by the German sculptor Josef Wackerle, it was erected in 1956 as a gift from the Federal Republic of Germany to the Irish people. This gift was a gesture of gratitude for the humanitarian aid Ireland provided to German refugees, especially children, after World War II. The fountain symbolizes the three "Fates" or "Norns" of Norse mythology, who weave and measure the thread of life. It is a monument that symbolizes kindness and the connection between nations and a reminder of Ireland's generosity in a time of great hardship.
