Description |
The fountain of St. George was erected in 1524 on the square in front of the town hall. The dragon-slayer George was created by Hans Geiler. Saint George is depicted as an armoured knight on horseback who defeats the dragon and thus saves the princess. The princess is depicted in high relief under the left front hoof of the horse. She kneels on a rock. The accompanying sheep makes her recognisable as Saint Margaret. The lance (disappeared), the reins and the bit are made of metal. In medieval imagery, the motif of St. George as dragon slayer was common. He was revered as a knight of God and of religion, as the conqueror of evil and the helper of battles. Shortly before the fountain figure was erected, the Fribourg government decided against Lutheranism. On this background, the dragon fight takes on a religious-political and missionary significance. With the fountain of St. George, Fribourg positioned itself in a combative manner for Catholicism in the then current confessional question. |

Object history | The sculpture of the dragon slayer was completed in 1524 by Hans Geiler, partially gilded by him and coloured by the painter Hans Boden. The original column by Hans Geiler was replaced by a chased column with composite capital by Joseph Tschupphauer during the restoration work of 1759-1761. At the same time, Gottfried Locher renewed the coloured setting. | ||||||||||||||||
