Sculpted in tranquil repose, the Liegender Jüngling invites contemplation. This isn’t the flamboyant Imperia. This is a different story, a quieter presence along the Konstanz harbor. The Liegender Jüngling, or “Reclining Youth,” offers a moment of peaceful reflection amidst the bustling activity of the waterfront. Created by Ilse Glasser-Michaelis, this sculpture captures a sense of youthful innocence and vulnerability. Its smooth lines and gentle curves contrast with the sharp angles and imposing presence of other nearby monuments. The Liegender Jüngling isn’t as well-known as the Imperia statue. It doesn’t dominate the harbor view. Yet, it holds a unique charm, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the simple beauty of the human form. While Imperia holds court with her satirical commentary on power, the Liegender Jüngling offers a quiet sanctuary, a reminder of the beauty and fragility of youth. Find a moment to sit by the Liegender Jüngling. Let the gentle lapping of the lake water and the warmth of the sun wash over you as you contemplate the serene beauty of this often-overlooked gem of Konstanz.
