    Fountain

    Water deity with trident in the Bad Bevensen spa gardens

    At the connection between the pedestrian zone in the old town and the spa park, not far from the Göhrde Bridge in the spa park, lies the Neptune Fountain. It forms a harmonious transition between the urban landscape and the greenery of the spa park.

    The 2.40 m high bronze casting by the sculptor Bernd Maro from Hanover depicts the water deity with trident in playful movement. The water bubbles towards the sculpture in an arc. Two fish - Neptune plays with one, another leaps out of the water - symbolise the variety of water creatures that constantly accompany him.

    At Neptune's feet lies a "sea trumpet", the triton horn. With this curved shell, according to legend, Triton, the son of Neptune, struck fear into the giants in their battle with the gods.

    In his outstretched right hand Neptune holds the "Tridens". The trident stands for lightning, which the sea god is said to have once hurled as a rival to the king of the gods. On his wild rides across the sea, he uses it, depending on his mood, to stir up or smooth the waves.

    Around the fountain, a wrought-iron pergola, which also forms a kind of gateway between the spa park and the city, invites visitors to sit and rest by the splashing water.

    Neptune
    The figure of Neptune was chosen with care. For the Romans, Neptune was the god of springs and rain. But when the Romans had to build up a fleet in the 1st Punic War (264-241 BC), they lacked a sea god. Without further ado, they equipped their freshwater god with the trident of the Greek sea god Poseidon, and from then on they also worshipped Neptune as god of the sea. As the sea god, he is usually depicted in a wild pose. The cheerful Neptune in Bad Bevensen is more reminiscent of the god of fresh water, the ruler of springs and rivers.
