A double livesize sculpture of a man bending down to something. According to the name "Fischer" (fischerman) and the local fishing tradition there must be a bow net below.
This piece is from Artist Albert Shilling (194-1987) and was placed in the 1950ies (the plaque says 1955, the web site 1959). It's at the South border of Solitude park close to the river bank.
