Tips from the Community
Two fishermen in weatherproof work clothes stand close together, one with his hands in his pockets, one with his hand outstretched forward, pointing the way. Both look determinedly ahead with a firm gaze. They want to defy not only the forces of nature, but also all other challenges in life. The Fishermen's Monument was donated in 1994 by Reederei Deilmann on the occasion of the city's 750th anniversary.
