Bad Wildungen - a picturesque health resort located in northern Hesse, Germany, at the foot of the Kellerwald
Bad Wildungen is a picturesque health resort located in northern Hesse, Germany, at the foot of the Kellerwald. The town has been known for its healing springs since the 14th century and is today one of Germany's largest rehabilitation and spa resorts.
The Kurschattenbrunnen is a public sculpture in Bad Wildungen, Hesse, which was inaugurated in October 1987. It is located at the beginning of Brunnenallee, a pedestrian street between the historic center of the city and the spa area. The fountain is an expressive work of art depicting a phenomenon called "Kurschatten", which refers to the shadow that a woman can cast on a man when she walks past him on the street. When it was inaugurated in 1987, the fountain's design provoked strong reactions. Some considered it provocative, while others saw it as a humorous and ironic commentary on the history of the spa. Despite initial controversy, the fountain's popularity has grown, and it has become a beloved landmark in Bad Wildungen. Today, it is one of the city's most photographed places and an example of modern public art.
