This smaller statue and fountain is a bit off the beaten path, located in front of an apartment complex off of... wait for it... Burgschmietstrasse (Burgschmiet street). Burgschmiet was a local sculptor, artisan and teacher whose works dot Nuremberg and Germany. Burgschmiet also started the Lenz Metal Foundry in 1829, and it's still there today just down from this statue. For photos of some of the foundry's bronze works click here.
