Teasing Fountain, Koenigsallee

The fountain created by Gregor von Bochmann in 1909 was donated to the city of Düsseldorf. The city had it built in front of the Görres High School. The fountain consists of a water basin framed by an artistically designed natural stone balustrade and a bronze sculpture that rises on a pedestal in the middle of the basin. The sculpture depicts two boys, an older boy giving water to a younger boy from a jug. Both figures were originally depicted unclothed, but the older boy was later given a loincloth because his nakedness caused offence. The fountain is a listed object.
