In the courtyard of the Seminary (Burgergasse 2) there is a snowman carved from white marble, which looks sadly into an artificially made puddle. This puddle never dries up, as it constantly receives water from a small faucet. According to one version, the snowman looks at the reflection of the clock in a puddle and is sad about the transience of time. But since the reflection of the clock in the puddle was not found empirically, I am inclined to the second version, according to which the puddle is the snowman's girlfriend, which melted in the spring and the poor fellow is now sad alone .
