Is it just me, or do those sculptures look like they’re about to splash each other? Here in the heart of Oerlikon, Zurich, lies the playful Franklinplatz, a square full of life and history. Franklinplatz itself might not be steeped in centuries-old tales, but its story is no less captivating. The square takes its name from Benjamin Franklin, a nod to the area’s industrial and innovative spirit, much like the American inventor himself. Now, let’s talk about those mischievous sculptures – “Boy and Girl”, created by Swiss artist Franz Fischer between 1928 and 1930. They originally graced another fountain but found a new home in Franklinplatz in 2003. Their playful energy perfectly embodies the spirit of this lively square, a space where the past and present effortlessly intertwine.
