Raabe fountain

Short facts

  • Holzminden

The figure on the pillar represents Klaus Eckenbrecher, a fictional character from Raabe's works

The fountain reminiscent of Wilhelm Raabe was built in 1927. The figure on the pillar created by the sculptor Ludwig Isenbeck represents Klaus Eckenbrecher, a fictional character from Raabe's work “The Holy Born”.

The former location of the Lower Gate is marked today by two large sandstone pillars. The Lower Gate was one of the three city gates of Holzminden. For a long time without a military function, it had to give way in 1767 to the "modern" expansion of Karlstrasse. The two pillars erected in 1995 remind of its location, which mention some important dates from the city's history.
