Brunnen "Die Waschfrau".
Osnabrück is a city in Lower Saxony, Germany. This fountain at the Vitihof was created in the 1980s by Hans Gerd Ruwe. He was born in 1926 in Osnabrück and is well-known for his large and often multi-figured pieces. He created another fountain to celebrate the city's 1200 birthday.

Sheila I was stationed near Osnabruck in the late 1960's (before the piece was in place)at a place called Detmold. Brings back happy memories of that time as a soldier serving in West Germany with BAOR.
