Places to see in ( Colmar - France ) Fontaine Schwendi
This fountain, designed by Auguste Bartholdi in 1898 is surmounted by a bronze statue of Lazare de Schwendi (1522-1583). Demolished in 1940, the fountain was rebuilt after the war with a smaller fountain basin, oriented differently. The statue is now back on the former customs place.
Lazare de Schwendi was war chief between 1564 and 1568 under the emperor Maximilian II and fought against the Turks in Hungary, from where he would have brought the grape variety from Tokay. Auguste Bartholdi was inspired by this legend and decided to represent Lazare de Schwendi with a vine stock in the hand.
The Schwendi fountain is a monument located in Colmar , in the French department of Haut-Rhin. The building is located Place de l'Ancienne-Douane in Colmar, behind Koïfhus. The statue represents Lazarus Schwendi ( 1522 - 1583 ), Empire's warlord and master of Hohlandsbourg. The original fountain was demolished in 1940 during the Second World War . It was replaced by the current basin which found the original statue.
According to legend, the vine plant he brandishes would be the grape of Tokay he brought from his campaigns in Hungary. In return for his services, he received the lordship of Hohlandsberg with the Castle of Kientzheim. However, it is attested that the Alsatian Tokay is a Pinot Gris known since the Middle Ages in region (the term Tokay, exclusively reserved for Hungarian wines, has been banned in Alsace since 2007).

The Musée Bartholdi is a museum dedicated to French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi and is situated at 30 rue des Marchands in Colmar, at the artist's birthplace. The museum has the Musée de France label. In 2011, the building is labeled Maisons des Illustres by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. In the courtyard there is a statue named Statue des grands soutiens du monde. Two doors of the 17th century were registered as a monument historique on 18 June 1926. In 2012, the museum numbered over 16,000 visitors.
Among many other, works by Bartholdi that can be seen in the museum include:
preparatory models for monuments created by the sculptor in the city, namely the statue of General Rapp, the Roesselmann fountain, the Hirn monument, the Schwendi fountain, the statue of Martin Schongauer, the statue of Admiral Bruat, the statue of the small grower and the statue of Alsacian Cooper;
preparatory models for the Lion of Belfort;
the Martyr moderne symbolizing the ultimate patriotic uprising by Poland against the Russian tsars (allegory of the myth of Prometheus);
a preparatory model of an ear for the Statue of Liberty;
a preparatory model of a horse's head for the Fontaine Bartholdi;
a collection of objects referring to the presence of a Jewish community in Alsace that has been well established for centuries.
The house where Auguste Bartholdi (1834 - 1904) was born at the heart of the old town of Colmar, houses a Museum dedicated to this emblematic artist. In the rooms spread over 3 stories, models of his monuments from several towns are on display. A special place is reserved for the original models of Bartholdi's masterpieces, the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Lion of Belfort.
You can also visit the living quarters with the family's furniture and the artist's personal memorabilia, not forgetting the room with a beautiful collection of Jewish art and another reserved for temporary exhibitions.
