Jobsiade fountain
The Jobsiade fountain (also known as the Kortum fountain ) is located on Husemannplatz in Bochum . The fountain was donated by Deutsche Bank and opened to the public in 1987. The artist Karl Ulrich Nuss refers to the exam scene of the Jobsiade by Carl Arnold Kortum . The group of figures consists of five people: the self-confident but highly unsuspecting theology student Jobs, three examiners and a night watchman. In 2013 the fountain was sprayed with white paint by vandals. In 2018 one of the bronze figures was sprayed with gold lacquer.
