In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.
As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.
Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).
The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.
On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.
In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.
26th June 2015 - A view from on top of the 'Atlantic Conveyor's' bridge showing the various aspects of the Stevedoring process that goes on at the Seaforth Container terminal. I used to do the invoicing for that little lot...
Just returned home from last weeks Chicago visit. Still a bit suffering jetlag and some blisters on my feet, but overall, a great week and also overall fortunable weather with all included. This one is showing the Chicago board of trade at the end of Lasalle Street, taken from the bridge with that same name. All have a great start into this new week. Thanks, Udo.
The Cow Canyon Trading Post was established in 1949 as an outlet for sales of northern Navajo and other artists works. Unfortunately it was closed when we were in Bluff, Utah earlier this year. But luckily this lovely bench was near the door.
Happy Bench Monday!

Behind the Cathedral in its car park - "The St Paul’s Cathedral grounds become a fluid space of curated chaos. A free meeting place for song, dance, deliciousness and the uncanny."
It was a place to hang out whilst catching something to eat and watch this somewhat weird wall of characters jiggle up and down and in a out to music

Last Autumn we watched our favorite tree slip on a yellow sweater while standing in the green field. Yesterday we noticed they had cleverly traded colors for this late Summer afternoon.
