Located in the bustling market square of Homburg, this installation—often referred to as the Röhrenbrunnen—is actually a series of linden tree steles created by artist Gernot Waldner. The linden tree holds special significance as Homburg's city tree, and these sculptures were originally designed to rotate. Visitors can find literary texts by local authors inscribed on the steles, all centered around the theme of the linden. While some locals and visitors view it as a unique pipe fountain, it serves as a significant piece of public art that connects the city's natural symbols with its literary culture.
