So many people having a good time! Gluwein!

Greatest Monument to a bratty kid, I have ever seen.

i loved this fountain. Actually it is built in the memory of a boy who was very crazy and naughty. And surprising thing is that when u stand in front of it at a distance it will throw water out of it's mouth

Interesting statue to see when you’re in Koblenz. Sometimes a little bit overcrowded with tourists but if you wait a moment you can take good pictures.

Make sure to stay back because this little devil will splash you with some water from his mouth. It's located right in the heart of Koblenz. Lots of nice restaurants, bars, and ice cream shops. Beautiful city.

Schangel Fountain & bronze boy statue created by Carl Burger in 1940 celebrating local poet Josef Cornelius. The kids would love it to sync the timing of the fountain.

This was the meeting place for our guided tour to meet back up after a few minutes browsing the area. Beautiful!!

an ordinary monument, nothing remarkable!

Nice place indeed!

great for a walkabout take a coffee or a icecream freshely made. relax and enjoy the town and area

Tucked away in a courtyard, this is a very cute fountain. Watch out for the waterworks when then fountain sprays outside of the bowl zone!!

Designed by Carl Burger and dedicated to Koblenz poet Joseph Cornelius, the Schangel Fountain has the bronze statue of a boy spitting water, on a column with the portraits of Cornelius and Kraehmer, and the coat-of-arms of Koblenz. During the French rule in Koblenz in the 19th century, the name was used as a local variation of the French "Jean", a name for the occupiers from France and for the children, the "Schängelchen", who arose from the fraternization. The nickname remained and in 1914 Josef Cornelius wrote the Schängel song, which is still very popular today and which finally cemented the name. In 1941 the artist Carl Burger unveiled the Schängel Fountain, made of bronze and basalt, which since then has been spitting cheerfully on the town hall square. The Mayen boy Rudolf Dany served as the model.

Nothing like an interactive experience with a fountain. Even better if you get to see someone else get wet while pushing in to get a photo. Camera karma.

A statue that be able to splash water from his mouth.

Xmas markets are bright and warm with good hot drinks asking about the story of the fountain is a must

This naughty kid split his water every two minutes, watch out!

Very unique fountain, and symbol of the city. Look at manhole covers for his image

Must see when you visit Koblenz, also look up the story behind the name and fountain

Careful - don't let the statue spit on you :-)

Beautiful place!

Its a fountain! It looks like a very naughty boy, who spits (that's why, a fountain), every 2 minutes. Ages ago, the name Schängel was used as an insult, for the children born to French & German mixed parentage!!! Not anymore, now its used with pride by the residents of Koblenz!!!

A cute surprise- happened past- I was tempted by the boy’s perky face but instinctively stepped aside from the wet patch - as I snapped a photo- suddenly a spurt of water from his mouth- whoa ! We checked for a movement sensor but decided it’s probably timed. Very cute if you don’t expect it!

So very busy, but magically Christmas. Clean toilet facilities available. 50 cents to use. Easy to read signage. The stall holders for the Advent markets are friendly and most are able to speak English.
