Today's Aschrottbrunnen (Ash Scrap Fountain) in front of the town hall by artist Dr Horst Hoheisel is a reminiscence of its predecessor at the same location, which was donated by the Jewish merchant Siegmund Aschrott. Declared a documenta work of art in 2012, its model stands in the Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem.
Negative form into a dark past
As an "open, non-healing wound", Dr Horst Hoheisel's Ash Scrap Fountain is now a place of remembrance in the middle of the city. In 1908, the town hall architect Karl Roth built a twelve-metre-high fountain in front of the town hall. It was donated to the city of Kassel by Sigmund Aschrott, a successful Kassel entrepreneur from a German-Jewish family, on the occasion of the construction of the new city hall.
