The expression "let yourself be sprinkled" usually has a negative connotation, unless you are actually standing under the shower. In Bargteheide you can even let yourself be directly sprinkled with art. A curved stainless steel pipe in the shape of a shower conceals loudspeakers and sound technology inside. If you press the button in the shower, you will then be sprinkled with texts and sound recordings on the topic of "water" that come from Bargteheide residents. The sequence of the contributions is controlled randomly. The dripped words seem to have collected on the floor beneath the shower. The performance artists Matthias Berthold and Andreas Schön collected the contributions in various actions and created the sound recordings from them. In this sense, the installation can even be understood as a "mouthpiece" for the residents. The work of art was created on the occasion of the transformation of the village pond in the middle of the village into a lively meeting place. Data on the work Matthias Berthold / Andreas Schön: Sprachdusche (2007/2008, stainless steel, concrete, sound technology) Rathausstraße / Mittelweg, 22941 Bargteheide Route planner: 53.72935, 10.26294 https://sh-kunst.de/matthias-berthold-andreas-schoen-sprachdusche/

The market fountain from 1953 - located in a small green area on the market - shows the original Altbargteheider Schinderhannes on one of the side walls covered in wood. There is a water carrier on the fountain. The long-time museum director Wilhelm Postl wrote down the story of Schinderhannes and the night watchman for the museum: "Schinderhannes" https://www.bargteheide.de/Bildung-Freizeit/Sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeiten-Tourismus/Sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeiten/Marktbrunnen.php?object=tx,2971.7443.1&NavID=3489.78&La=1
