A Family of Pissing Statues: Manneken Pis, Jeanneke Pis and Zinneke Pis:
Many of you may know about the famous Manneken Pis statue in Brussels. You know, the statue of the little boy that is peeing into a fountain? But did you know that this little boy also has a sister and dog, who also seem to have the same problem of relieving themselves in public? It is true, Brussels seem as though it is getting taken over by the Pis family one by one. Of course, I just had to drag poor Micah around to find them all.
Manneken Pis
Manneken Pis is the most famous of the three statues and stands not far from the Grand Place, doing his business for the whole world to see. He is much smaller than you would imagine, only two feet tall–it is funny how a relatively tiny statue can garner such large crowds. During different times of the year, he is dressed in costume, apparently he has over 800 (!), but when we were there, he wasn’t wearing anything. There are many reasons and stories as to why this little boy is so famous, but it is said that he represents Brussels rebellious nature and history. If you enjoy the statue, you could even take one home in the form of chocolate, or you could give it as a gift. Who wouldn’t love to receive a gift of a peeing statue in the form of chocolate, right?
Jeanneke Pis
Next on the list is Jeanneke Pis, Manneken Pis’ little sister. Jeanneke must have taken some pointers from her brother because she squats over a fountain doing her business for the world to see as well. For some reason, poor Jeanneke is behind bars at the end of a small side street across from Delirium Cafe–hardly a place for such a little girl to hang out. This statue is a bit harder to find, as it is located at the end of a dead end street. I was a little taken aback by the way she was squatting–I guess I should have expected it since she is a girl and all, but it is in your face and kind of a little creepy! Rumor has it that a restaurant owner put her there to attract more people to his almost hidden restaurant. Whatever the truth is, the restaurant is gone, but the statue remains and still attracts many visitors to this day.
Zinneke Pis
Last up on the search for the pissing statues is the hardest one to find of all, Zinneke Pis, which is the dog. Manneken and Jeanneke trained their dog the only way they knew how–find a public place, and let it flow, although he is not actually a working fountain like the other two. Located along a quiet unassuming street, the dog was installed as a mascot for the city. Many people in Brussels do not like the marketing reasons behind the dog, but after his arrival, the surrounding area did develop into a nicer area, with more shops and restaurants.

In Brussels, Belgium, there is a certain monument, offensive to some and beloved to others.
This is the Manneken Pis, which means (as you might guess), little man peeing.
This strange part of the city's culture was built in the early 17th century.
There are times when the city of Brussels dresses the little statue in various costumes.
The little man of the statue has a remarkable collection, with hundreds of outfits to fit various events, causes, and holidays.
The Manneken Pis even has his own set of wild legends and folklore.

Manneken Pis is a statue in the heart of Brussels, just off the Grand place - it's one of the top things to see in the city and is one of the more unique sites we've seen on our travels! There's plenty of stories behind Manneken Pis and how it came to be or why this little boy peeing has become such an icon in Belgium. We read a bunch of them online and share a few of our favourites in the vlog.
Manneken Pis is located a block or so away from the incredible Grand Place of Brussels. Also known as Grote Markt of Brussels this is one of the most interesting and beautiful city squares we've come across. We were fortunate to get a private tour of the city tower to get a view back down over the Grand Place from nearly 100 metres above ground - its a special walk up the stairs and a view we won't be forgetting anytime soon Belgium, or more so Brussels specifically from our experience, really is a magical place that has quickly left a mark on us and at this point we really don't want to leave.
We're positive you'll love Brussels as much as we do, there's loads of info on the Visit Brussels website:

A Bruxelles, le Manneken-Pis ne gaspillera plus d'eau potable | AFP Reportage
La ville de Bruxelles fait désormais la chasse au gaspillage d'eau et d'électricité. Première victime : le célèbre Manneken-Pis, qui gaspillait jusqu'alors près de 1.500 litres d'eau potable chaque jour à cause d'une fuite.

Brüssel: Manneken Pis - Petit Julien - Little man Pee Wahrzeichen - Belgien Landmark of Brussels
Der Manneken Pis (brabantisch für „kleiner wasserlassender Mann“), auch le Petit Julien genannt, ist eine Brunnenfigur eines urinierenden Knaben. Sie ist eines der Wahrzeichen der belgischen Hauptstadt Brüssel. Belgien
Little man Pee is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619.
Die 61 Zentimeter hohe Bronzestatue an der Ecke rue de l’Etuve/Stoofstraat, rue des Grands Carmes/Lievevrouwbroerstraat und rue du Chêne/Eikstraat wurde 1619 vom Brüsseler Bildhauer Hieronimus Duquesnoy geschaffen. Die Figur wurde mehrfach gestohlen; die heutige Statue ist eine Kopie aus dem Jahr 1965. Das Original wird im Maison du Roi am Grand-Place/Grote Markt aufbewahrt.
Ein Text aus dem Jahr 1388 im Archiv der Brüsseler Kathedrale St. Michael und St. Gudula erwähnt bereits eine kleine steinerne Statue namens „Julianekensborre“ an einem Brunnen Ecke rue de l’Etuve und rue du Chêne. Zu dieser Zeit existierten in Brüssel sehr viele solcher Brunnen, die die Stadt mit Trinkwasser versorgten. Der Name „Manneken Pis“ taucht erstmals um 1450 in Texten des Brüsseler Stadtarchivs auf.
1985 hat das Manneken Pis mit Jeanneke Pis ein weibliches Gegenstück und mit Zinneke Pis 1998 einen Hund als Pendant bekommen.

Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The 61 cm tall bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder, father of the more famous François Duquesnoy. The figure has been repeatedly stolen: the current statue dates from 1965. The original restored version is kept at the Maison du Roi/Broodhuis on the Grand Place.
There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous is the one about Duke Godfrey III of Leuven. In 1142, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of the Berthouts, the lords of Grimbergen, in Ransbeke (now Neder-Over-Heembeek). The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle.
Another legend states that in the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held its ground for some time, so the attackers conceived of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Julianske happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated on the burning fuse and thus saved the city. There was at the time (middle of the 15th century, perhaps as early as 1388) a similar statue made of stone. The statue was stolen several times.
Another story (told often to tourists) tells of a wealthy merchant who, during a visit to the city with his family, had his beloved young son go missing. The merchant hastily formed a search party that scoured all corners of the city until the boy was found happily urinating in a small garden. The merchant, as a gift of gratitude to the locals who helped out during the search, had the fountain built.
Another legend was that a small boy went missing from his mother when shopping in the centre of the city. The woman, panic-stricken by the loss of her child, called upon everyone she came across, including the mayor of the city. A city-wide search began and when at last the child was found, he was urinating on the corner of a small street. The story was passed down over time and the statue erected as a tribute to the well-known legend.
Another legend tells of the young boy who was awoken by a fire and was able to put out the fire with his urine, in the end this helped stop the king's castle from burning down.
Traditions: The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to a published schedule which is posted on the railings around the fountain. His wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes, many of which may be viewed in a permanent exhibition inside the City Museum, located in the Grand Place, immediately opposite the Town Hall. The costumes are managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, who review hundreds of designs submitted each year, and select a small number to be produced and used.
Although the proliferation of costumes is of twentieth-century origin, the occasional use of costumes dates back almost to the date of casting, the oldest costume on display in the City Museum being of seventeenth-century origin. The changing of the costume on the figure is a colourful ceremony, often accompanied by brass band music. Many costumes represent the national dress of nations whose citizens come to Brussels as tourists; others are the uniforms of assorted trades, professions, associations, and branches of the civil and military services.
On occasion, the statue is hooked up to a keg of beer. Cups will be filled up with the beer flowing from the statue and given out to people passing by.

Belgium - The Story Of 'Manneken Pis'
T/I 10:54:41
As Christmas approaches, Manneken-Pis, one of Brussel's best-loved
landmarks, is dressed as Santa Claus.
But this is just one of many costumes the little boy, forever set
in stone relieving himself, has worn over the years. The statue is
a beloved part of the Belgian capital and the city even has an
employee responsible for dressing it in different costumes.
Dressing Manneken-Pis has been Jacques Stroobants' responsibility
for 21 years and he now sees it as more of a hobby than a job.
Many of the costumes are now kept in a special museum but
Stroobants has his own collection of more than 600 outfits.
The mystery surrounding the origins of the statue has created many
legends, including a tale that the statue is a monument to a young
boy who used his common sense to extinguish a firecracker which
was about to blow up the town hall.
Another is that it was erected by a grateful mother and father who
found their lost child relieving himself on the spot where the
statue now stands.
