Spiegelbrunnen (Mirror Fountain), Heiligenstadt

Highlight • Monument

The mirror fountain, created by Heiligenstadt's graduate sculptor Werner Löwe, can be found at Heiligenstadt's Wilhelm in the pedestrian zone, in front of the building of the former district court. The details of the bronze group of figures, which represent human characteristics, are mentioned here; such as the old man with the fat belly, whose trousers no longer fit because of sheer gluttony and who is holding a beer mug in his right hand, or the lady who looks into a mirror with her head held high. "She is supposed to represent vanity".

With this work, the artist allegorically represents human virtues and vices such as gluttony, vanity, vanity, chastity, truth, wisdom, stupidity. The Dresden native, who now lives in Heiligenstadt, has left his mark not only in his adopted home, but everywhere in Thuringia.

Heiligenstadt Marian Chapel (Maria-Hilf Chapel)

Highlight • Religious Site

On the market square next to the church of the Aegidia is the Maria Hilf chapel. It was rebuilt in the years 1860/1861. The predecessor building probably came from the construction of the Aegidienkirche. Every Wednesday bread was distributed to the poor in the so-called bread chapel. Johann Wolf reported that this chapel existed as early as 1405 and has always served as the meeting place of the help plumbers for elementary needs.
