OTTMAR HORL ZEPPELIN - BOY SCULPTURE - GOLD

The sculpture harks back to the motif of the boy holding an LZ3, depicted on the Zeppelin fountain (1909).

The only monument to Count Zeppelin built and inaugurated during his lifetime, the figure on the fountain symbolises the global success of Friedrichshafen's manufacturing business based on the development of its airship industry.

At the same time, it stands for Friedrichshafen itself. After all, the figure and the fountain miraculously survived Allied bombing during World War II unscathed. This sculpture symbolises an invitation to reflect upon the challenges posed by any new beginning.
