Goose Girl

Location: Markt 9, 37073 Göttingen

The bronze statue and fountain of the little Goose Girl, "Lise the Goose Girl" is an important decoration of Göttingen and a symbol of Göttingen at the same time. It was built in 1901. The little goose sculpture currently on the fountain in the old town hall square is actually a replica. The original work of this sculpture is displayed in the museum. A well-known and interesting tradition is still preserved at the University of Göttingen, that is, on the day that the doctoral students get their degrees through the defense, they will wear their doctoral hats and take a float, accompanied by relatives and friends, to the Goose Girl Square in the city center. Kiss the "Goose Girl Statue". The climax of the doctorate celebration was being surrounded by classmates to kiss the girl. The people of Gettingen affectionately call her the "Master of Kissing".
