Art and controversy
Hans Trudel and his artworks
The trail of Hans Trudel (1881–1958) leads into the heart of the city and to the works of an artist who devoted his entire life to art with passion and perseverance. Along the way to his sculptures, fountains, and busts unfold stories of creativity, resilience, and artistic courage – from works such as "Kinderreigen" to "Flieger" and the "Tränenbrünneli".
Each stop on the tour becomes a vivid experience: Trudel’s tireless creativity, his vision, and his influence on the cityscape come clearly to the fore. His art was only fully recognized after his death, among other things through the Hans Trudel Foundation, which transformed his former home into a gallery. To this day, his sculptures and fountains give the city its distinctive character and reveal how profoundly Hans Trudel has shaped the landscape of public art.
