"Golden Goose," Winsen an der Luhe, Germany

At a village plaza in northern Germany, a statue acts out the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the Golden Goose. While Winsen has no direct connection to the Brothers Grimm, it’s claimed this popular story as its own. Would the plaza have been so inviting to tourists with a German war memorial instead? Lesson: Don’t limit artistic choices by over-localizing subjects and themes.
