The Marriage Carousel fountain is a controversial allegorical work depicting scenes of married life, located in the historic center of Nuremberg, right at the foot of the White Tower. Created in the 1980s, it is a very complex work where a series of scenes from married life are represented, ranging from the first meeting to death. Personally, the sight of this fountain did not particularly impress me.

We started our walking tour here after finishing breakfast at nearby Der Beck. The fountain wasn't on, as we were there in the winter, and the poem was all in German (we know only some phrases), so it was mostly just something for us to look at and walk around relatively quickly. We ran a translation on the text after we got back to the hotel, but it wasn't the same experience.

Nuremberg’s controversial bronze fountain, Ehekarussell (loosely the Marriage Merry Go Round) has been upsetting people with its sensationally grim representation of the trials of marriage. Despite receiving complaints, the Ehekarussell remains to this day, alternately delighting and horrifying visitors. Much like in many marriages, not everyone is going to agree all the time.

It titled "Marriage Carousel" and was completed in just 1984. It highlights 6 stages of marriage, from the beginning passion, through gluttony, until finally, as I show in my photos "til death do us part", where the wife is strangling the husband to death, both shown as dead people already. This is very strange and caused a lot of controversy, but I must go see it everything I go to Nuernberg!!

This is an interesting and a little bit satirical fountain that stands in the middle of a street in Nuremberg that chronicles married life from wedding and struggles of married life to death .
It is located near the White Tower U-Station.

This is a very strange monument/statues to marriage. I am sure the sculpture knew what he was doing but it does not give a verypositive view on married bliss.

When you meander through the Altstadt of Nuremberg, you can't miss the fountain. A very realistic testament to the progression of life. I have seen it several times and I am always intrigued by it. Take some time and walk around it to see all the details in the Karusell of married life. Nice piece of art.

My family and I stopped at many fountains and statues in Nuremberg, and this was my favorite. It was our 30th wedding anniversary, and I got a kick out of this Marriage Carousel. There was a lot to look at, and the humor in it was not lost on us. It would not be appropriate for families with young children, but we found it to be very interesting and fun!

I have seen the sculpture so many times but with every trip to Nuremberg I need to see it again. It is somewhat horrifying but also a spectacluar piece of art.
