In the heart of the charming town of Memmingen, nestled in the picturesque landscape of the Allgäu, stands an extraordinary bronze sculpture depicting the town tomcat Chicco. Created by the talented artist Cornelia Brader, this sculpture captures the spirit and vibrancy of the town. Chicco, who has become something of a local mascot over the years, is proudly perched by the town stream, as if he is monitoring the busy streets and the tranquil atmosphere in equal measure.
Behind Chicco rises the imposing Frauenkirche, an impressive building that characterises the skyline of Memmingen. Its majestic tower and the ornate details of its façade add a special touch to the cityscape and are a reminder of the region's rich history and cultural heritage. The bronze sculpture and the Frauenkirche together form a harmonious image that unites tradition and modernity.
The location of the sculpture, directly by the town stream, adds to the charm of this place. The gentle rippling of the water and the green surroundings create an atmosphere of peace and contemplation that is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Chicco seems to literally come to life in his role as the town cat, as if greeting everyone who passes by with a knowing look. This scene is a living testimony to the Memmingen people's love for their town and its traditions, while at the same time offering a glimpse into the region's modern art scene.
