Kanzlerbrunnen am Ostertor
==========================

- Fountain

Kanzlerbrunnen am Ostertor Lemgo

Bronzene Figuren eines Mädchens und Ziegen beim Kanzlerbrunnen in einer gepflasterten Fußgängerzone.

The Kanzlerbrunnen fountain at the Ostertor was created in 1977 by the sculptor **Bonifatius Stirnberg**. The moving figures depict the so-called **“Battle for the Barrel”**—an event from Lemgo’s history dating back to around 1600.

The dispute centered on the city’s beer tax and a barrel of beer from Minden in Westphalia. The dispute between the city of Lemgo and the Lippe chancellor **Balthasar Knaust** illustrates the city’s self-assured stance toward the Lippe authorities.

 The moving figures make the fountain a unique, interactive monument and invite visitors to explore the historical scene for themselves.
