Lederstrumpfbrunnen
Sculpture by Gernot Rumpf. The Lederstrumpfbrunnen is a fountain in the German city of Edenkoben. It commemorates the frontiersman Johann Adam Hartmann, who was born in this city and considered by some as a possible inspiration for the character Natty Bumppo of the Leatherstocking Tales novels by the American writer James Fenimore Cooper.
The three main sculptures around the fountain are Hartman/Bumppo depicted as a hunter with a rifle and accompanied by a dog, the Indian chief Chingachgook (another famous character from the novels) and the artist Max Slevogt (1868-1932), who created some of the best known illustrations for the German editions of the novels.
The fountain was designed between 1987 and 1990 by the German sculptor Gernot Rumpf.[1]
