Geldbrunnen /Kreislauf Des Geldes , fountain on Hartmann / Ursulinerstraße : The fountain represents the circulation of money in today’s society. The water rotates counterclockwise. It flows also in the winter, because it is warm water from the hot springs of Aachen. Around the circle are different figures dealing with money, representing: the avarice , the greed , the condescension and begging . In addition, it is shown how a father explains to his child how to deal with the money.
