Statue of Saint Wendelin at Mia Münster Haus

Highlight • Monument

As part of the exhibition "Saint Wendelin - a city patron conquers the world" in the St. Wendel Museum, a bronze sculpture of Saint Wendelin, created by Kurt Tassotti, was erected in front of the Mia Münster House in October 2009. Tassotti chose to depict the saint as a shepherd with a shepherd's staff and a sheep in his arms. In sandals, a shepherd's cloak and a monk's tonsure with a wreath of hair, Saint Wendelin stands in philosophical serenity and prudence in front of the entrance to the museum and library.

Schlossplatz Fountain, St. Wendel

Highlight • Monument

As part of the urban development project led by the Bliesen architect Hanns Schönecker to transform the St. Wendel Castle Square from a car park into a square, the "new Castle Square fountain" was created, a "jewel for the city". It is one of the winners of a competition called by the then Minister of the Interior Werner Scherer for "Fountains as a meeting place for citizens". It was created in 1984 by the Werner Glöckner sculpting company from Hangard. The fountain is adapted to the terrain, which slopes slightly to the west, via an octagonal staircase base with sandstone steps. The octagonal sandstone fountain basin is designed in the form of a bulbous, protruding, profiled cornice. In the middle of the basin, a flat fountain bowl rises above a base, which is filled to the brim with water from a fountain. The water "hangs" over the edge of the bowl like a transparent curtain, which is moved by the wind and occasionally broken by pigeons. The St. Wendel Castle Square fountain has actually become a meeting place for citizens.

Cannonball and Inscription at the Wendalinus Basilica

Highlight • Religious Site

In September 1522, the city experienced the only siege in its history by Franz von Sickingen's troops. An inscription and a walled-in cannonball on a buttress on the south side of the Wendalinus Basilica commemorate the siege, but it was not installed there until 1922.
