Brückenaffe

Brückenaffe is a famous bronze statue of a monkey located at the Old Bridge in Heidelberg. This charming sculpture from 1979 is a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

According to local beliefs, touching the mirror in the monkey's left paw brings prosperity, touching the fingers of the right hand ensures a return to Heidelberg, and touching the mouse next to the monkey promises fertility.

The statue is a modern interpretation of an original stone sculpture from the 15th century. It's the perfect place to take a souvenir photo and experience a local tradition while visiting picturesque Heidelberg.
