Three Girls One Boy Statue

These four statues originally adorned the fountain of the Palasthotel that was a base for Stasi spying on Western guests. When the hotel was demolished the statues were relocated to the bank of the Spree near Museum Island.
I'd guess they are 1930's era but I'm not sure. They are very pretty and photogenic and an iconic image of this area.

On the wall opposite the cathedral are four youthful, naturalistic nudes. There are three women and one young man. The figures had been installed as a group back to back in a fountain in front of the palace hotel since 1988. The fountain disappeared with the demolition of the palace hotel around 2001. The bronze figures were deposited and in 2007 they were erected at their current location.

The sculptures are made by Wilfried Fitzenreiter.

'Three Girls and a Boy' is an interesting arrangement of statues that can be seen along the bank of the Spree River opposite to Berliner Dom in Berlin.

Here you will find four bronze figures sitting upon the promenade wall, overlooking the river. The three girls and one boy are life size and nude. They seem to be enjoying a lazy, hot summer day, unsure if they should swim, nap or just watch life pass them by.

The statues are the works of German sculptor, Wilfried Fitzenreiter and was erected in 1988. You can see them conveniently when visiting Museum Island attractions and others near this area of Berlin.

Interesting piece of life-size statues right across from the Berlin Cathedral. Carefree and daring yet comfortable in one's own skin is the impression I got out of it.

Haha that one is actually fun to see and located right next to Cathedral and canal with ferries. Stroll along the canal is very pleasurable and even more so when you stumble across this fun statues.
