Peter Henlein Denkmal

There are numerous statues and monuments scattered around the historic city centre in Nuremburg. One that we enjoyed seeing during our recent stay in the city is the Peter Henlein Brunnen which is situated in the small Hefnersplatz. This monument was unveiled in 1905 during a watch exhibition.What you see here is a bronze of Peter Henlein, the early 16th-century clockmaker who invented the world's first pocket watch in 1505. He is standing beside a natural log stand and is holding a mechanical device in his left hand which he is peering at intently.That statue stands upon a globe shaped stone pedestal embedded into a sphere that represents the Nuremburg Egg. Near the bottom of the sphere there are faces with spouts that spill water into the fountain basin below. Unfortunately during out December visit, the fountain was expected turned off.It is an interesting monument to one of Nuremburg's important historical figures, worth spending a few minutes to view if you enjoy seeing statues and monuments during your travels.
