Der Hase (The Rabbit) is a monument found at Tiergarthertorplatz near Albrecht Dürer Haus. This is the works of German sculptor Jürgen Goertz (1984) and is a provocative and figurative portrayal of Albrecht Dürer's famous Young Hare (1502) painting which is located at the Albertina in Vienna. Unlike the realistic and detailed 'Young Hare' by Dürer, Goertz's Rabbit is a monstrous and oversized creature bursting through a smaller wooden crate, along with several smaller rabbits at his side. The sculpture has a grotesqueness which contrasts greatly with Dürer's painting. It oddly has the effect of forcing one to view it longer, if only to try to understand this interpretation of what should be a rather simple subject - a rabbit. Regardless of how you feel about this particular sculpture, it is definitely worth a brief look before or after visiting the nearby Albrecht Dürer house, particularly if you are a fan of the artist.

We were in the area and I was entranced by the buildings nearby. There was a group of people nearby and it intrigued me so I went to see what they were looking at, it was this statue. At first glance, I wasn't sure what the grotesque figure in front of me was. After giving it a proper look all around the ears made it obvious that it was a rabbit. The crate it is coming out from blends quite well with the statue itself. The eyes were also quite nice, being coloured. It was also interesting that there was a smaller rabbit statue near the bottom. It was quite an interesting and memorable stop.

It's so ugly that it's nice again. Just kidding worth a look. With kids you can play the how many rabbits you find game.

Nice squate, but full of tourist. Sculpturw hideen between coffee tables.

This is a bronze sculpture of a rabbit created by an artist Fritz based on a drawing by Albrecht Dürer. The rabbit is depicted in a sitting position

Gorgeous sculpture of Durer's hare. Fits very harmoniously into the surrounding environment. At the northwestern outskirts of the historical center of Nuremberg, near the city walls and the house-museum of the famous German artist Albrecht Dürer, on the Tiergärtnertorplatz square there is a sculpture in the form of a huge hare. This sculpture was installed as a tribute to Durer.

very interesting place to visit. There are also a lot of places where to eat german specialities and drink good beers

Creepy

Perfect!

I find these rabbits super cute, but strangely disturbing. Must see!

Der Hase hat mit dem Dürer eigentlich nichts zu tun. Die Skulptur ist etwas abstrakt und bizarr, aber interessant.
