In front of the entrance to the Hunsrückbad is a larger-than-life white sculpture in the shape of a fountain shooting upwards. The work of art embodies the life-giving power of water and symbolizes optimism and joie de vivre in its vertical dynamics. As a symbol of freshness and vitality, the fountain creates an atmosphere of optimism and anticipation that invigorates both the entrance area and visitors to the swimming pool.
Social sculpture The artwork fulfils a dual function: it not only serves as a recognizable eye-catcher, but also as a social attraction. The meaningful design, which can be understood by everyone, offers opportunities for interaction, whether as an unusual seat or as a selfie motif. The fountain becomes a meeting point that significantly improves the quality of the entrance square and at the same time serves as an orientation aid. As a striking point at the entrance to the Hunsrückbad, the sculpture shows visitors the way and prepares them for what awaits them inside the building: the special joy and vitality that only a visit to the swimming pool can convey.
Associations and identification The sculpture Fountain offers numerous possibilities for interpretation and identification. It invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship to water and its significance as a source of life, renewal and energy. Based on the well-known poem “The Fountain” by J. R. Lowell, the artwork focuses on nature as a source of joy, optimism and inspiration. The sculpture thus becomes not only an artistic object, but also a symbol of the life-giving power of nature.
A symbol of joie de vivre Fountain becomes a figure of identification for the Hunsrückbad. Together with the visitors, it celebrates the fleeting moment and the power of water. The moment of joy and refreshment that a fountain conveys is here cast in concrete, as it were, and captured for what feels like an eternity. In this way, a symbol of all-pervasive sculptural quality is created that is deeply connected to the theme of water - a symbol of permanence and dynamism at the same time.
