点评:The Fountain of Justice (Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen), located at the picturesque Römerberg square, is a captivating historical landmark situated in the heart of Frankfurt.
The first stone statue of Justitia, the female champion of justice brandishing sword and scales, was built in 1543. The current eight-cornered fountain was created in 1611, along with a new Justitia figure created out of red sandstone. Some renovations of this piece took place in 1652, 1705 and 1770, anyway the centuries had taken their toll on the monument. The current Justitia, which is made of bronze, was funded by a Frankfurt wine merchant in 1887, based on the original stone sculpture and adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, represents the city’s commitment to justice and fairness. It became an important aspect of the city’s culture and identity over the centuries and through the current day.
During the air raids of World War II, most of Römerberg was reduced to rubble, but the fountain and figure of Justitia remained mostly undamaged.
After admire this magnificent structure, take a moment to appreciate the surrounding architecture, which includes the famous Römer - a medieval building that has served as Frankfurt’s city hall for centuries, and the Ostzeile - a row of six half-timbered houses that add a touch of charm to Römerberg Square. The vibrant atmosphere of the Römerberg square, often bustling with activity, makes it a perfect spot for tourists to soak in the local culture and enjoy street performances or seasonal markets
翻译:正义喷泉 (Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen) 位于风景如画的罗马广场,是法兰克福市中心一座迷人的历史地标。
正义女神的第一座石像建于 1543 年,她是一位挥舞着剑和天平的正义女斗士。目前的八角喷泉建于 1611 年,同时还用红砂岩制作了一个新的正义女神雕像。这座雕像在 1652 年、1705 年和 1770 年进行过一些翻修,但几个世纪的岁月对这座纪念碑造成了损害。目前的正义女神雕像由青铜制成,由法兰克福的一位葡萄酒商人于 1887 年出资建造,以原始石像为基础,并饰有精美的雕刻和雕塑,代表了这座城市对正义和公平的承诺。几个世纪以来,它一直是这座城市文化和身份的重要组成部分,直到今天。
在第二次世界大战的空袭中,罗马广场的大部分被夷为平地,但正义女神像和喷泉基本完好无损。
欣赏完这座宏伟的建筑后,花点时间欣赏周围的建筑,其中包括著名的罗马大厦(一座中世纪建筑,几个世纪以来一直作为法兰克福的市政厅)和 Ostzeile(一排六座半木结构的房屋,为罗马广场增添了一丝魅力)。罗马广场气氛活跃,经常熙熙攘攘,是游客沉浸在当地文化、享受街头表演或季节性市场的理想场所
