GERMANY: Streetart Oberursel – Wiederholt 11 – Fastnachtsbrunnen – Carnival Fountain

Fastnachtsbrunnen – Carnival Fountain – Tribute to Melanie I.

This urban artwork is not just a creative statue fountain but as well a memorial dedicated to the “Fountain Queen” of 2005 named Melanie I.

English Translation:  Up until 1703, Oberursel used to have a woman who had hit her husband astride a donkey on Shrove Tuesday and be led through the town by her husband or by a women’s master who was specially paid for it violating the prevailing order at the time was punished. This fountain motif is still controversial today.

Originaly writing in German: In Oberursel galt es bis 1703 als Brauch, dass eine Frau, die ihren Ehemann geschlagen hatte, am Fastnachtsdienstag rittlings auf einen Esel gesetztund von ihrem Mann oder von einem eigens dafür bezahlten ,Weibermeister durch den Ort geführt wurde.Mit diesem Rügebrauch wurden Menschen, die gegen die damals HERRschende Ordnungverstoßen halten, bestraft.Dieses Brunnenmotiv ist bis heute umstritten.
