    On the Heidelberg market square in front of the town hall there is a carved stone figure of Hercules on a pillar in the middle of a fountain. It was created at the beginning of the 18th century by the sculptor Heinrich Charrasky and still stands in the same place today.

    A beautiful fountain with a statue. But not anymore. The area around it is only semi-clean and at ten (!!!) in the morning the homeless people are sitting on the benches with beer. Even if you feel sorry for people, it doesn't invite you to linger and take photos.

    この広場は、日頃はシックな色合いなんでしょうが、クリスマスシーズンには、出店や遊園地などあって色合いが鮮やかできれいです。売店も色鮮やかで西欧風で楽しめました。特に蝋燭で回転する飾りの、超巨大版が中央にあって、見事ですね。

    (Translated by Google) beautiful german town, it is worth knowing it has few places to visit but its castle, temples, main square make it unique its walk along the necktar river is impressive. (Original) hermoso pueblo aleman , vale la pena conocerlo tiene pocos lugares por visitar pero su castillo, templos , plaza principal lo hacen unico su paseo por el rio necktar es impresionante.

    A nice fountain in Heidelberg. I ate an ice cream in one of the adjacent cafes, which was ok for me, but nothing special.

    It's just a fountain. Nice but nothing special. Still very historical.

  • 4/5 Rethna C. 9 months ago on Google
    Bonita fuente que está en la Marketplatz de Heidelberg junto a la Iglesia. La estatua de Hércules que hay ahora no es la original, esa la guardan ya que es una figura muy importante en la cuidad.

    Μετά τον Πόλεμο της Διαδοχής του Παλατινάτου (1688–1697), ο εκλέκτορας Johann Wilhelm έστειλε σχέδια ανοικοδόμησης της κατεστραμμένης Χαϊδελβέργης, δείχνοντας πώς φανταζόταν να ξαναχτιστεί. Το 1703, η πόλη ανέθεσε στον γλύπτη Johann Martin Laub να κατασκευάσει ένα σιντριβάνι μπροστά από το δημαρχείο, στο οποίο τοποθετήθηκε μια φιγούρα του Ηρακλή. Η στήλη δημιουργήθηκε από τον γλύπτη Heinrich Charrasky . Ο Ηρακλής (λατινικά Hercules ) είναι ένας Έλληνας ήρωας γιός του Δία και διάσημος για τη δύναμή του. Του αποδοθηκε ο τίτλος του ημίθεου και συμπεριλήφθηκε στον Όλυμπο. Τα χαρακτηριστικά του είναι το δέρμα του λιονταριού που σκότωσε στη Νεμέα, το ρόπαλο, το τόξο και η φαρέτρα. Κάταφερε 12 άθλους με χαρακτηριστικότερους το φόνο της Υδρας, τη συγκομιδή μήλων των Εσπερίδων και την σύλληψη του Κέρβερου στον Αδη.

    ハイデルベルクのマルクト広場は、聖霊教会のすぐ横にあり、ハウプト通りと繋がって、街の外れの泉を中心に広場があった。 クリスマスマーケットが開かれる時にはとても賑やかだと言うことらしい❗
