“Rad Der Fortuna”
The Wheel of Fortuna
Fortuna is the Roman goddess of good fortune.
The wheel of Fortuna was installed in the northeastern section of the moat in 2001 CE. It was created by the artist, Hans Hoffer.
It symbolises the course and transience of human life.
When in operation, the huge wheel moves slowly. Take time to observe the slow movement of the wheel. You can see the life-sized human sculptures gently descend into the water of the moat and reappear.
