The Goose Girl / Gänseliesel for Göttingen is like the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin or the…read moreEiffeltower in Paris. Every tourist takes a photo here. The monument is as old as the Göttinger Sparkasse, 1901. The figure was replaced through a replica in 1990 - but you can see the original in the city museum. If you do your PhD at the Georg-August University you are supposed to kiss the Goose Girl.
