Title
Venner-Brunnen von 1546 im Ring in Biel
Description
Deutsch: Auf dem Brunnenstock findet sich die Jahrzahl 1546. Ein Meister HS, vielleicht Hans Singisen, fertigte die Säule. 1557 schuf der Steinmetz Michel Wumard die Figur des Venners. Der im Vollharnisch mit Schwert und Bieler Fahne dargestellte Bannerträger war im Mittelalter der Kommandant der Bieler Truppen. Er verwahrte den Schlüssel zum Zeughaus. Er verkörpert die Wehrhaftigkeit der Stadt und die Macht. Bannerträger als Brunnenfiguren waren damals beliebte Motive der Städte.
Français : Le pilier de la fontaine porte la date de 1546. Un maître HS, peut-être Hans Singisen, a réalisé la colonne. En 1557, le tailleur de pierre Michel Wumard a créé la figure du Venner. Représenté en armure complète avec une épée et un drapeau biennois, il était au Moyen-Âge le commandant des troupes biennoises. Il gardait la clé de l'arsenal. Il incarnait la capacité de défense de la ville et le pouvoir. Les bannerets en tant que figures de fontaine étaient alors des motifs appréciés des villes.
English: The year 1546 is found on the fountain's base. A master HS, perhaps Hans Singisen, made the column. In 1557, the stonemason Michel Wumard created the figure of the Venner. The standard bearer, depicted in full armour with sword and Biel flag, was the commander of the Biel troops in the Middle Ages. He kept the key to the armoury. He embodied the town's fortitude and power. Banner bearers as fountain figures were popular motifs in towns at that time.
