Its central figure is an Elwetritsche, a mythical creature closely associated with the Palatinate region of southwestern Germany and its local folklore.The Elwetritsche, also known as the Elwedritsch in another common spelling, is a legendary bird-like creature from Palatinate folklore. Its appearance varies, but it is often depicted with a long beak and other fantastical features. Neustadt an der Weinstraße has a particularly strong connection to the creature, which is celebrated in local art and traditions. The city's Elwetritsche Fountain, created by sculptor Gernot Rumpf and inaugurated in 1978, is one prominent example. Another regional tradition is the playful Elwetritschejagd, or Elwetritsche hunt, in which participants set out to catch the supposedly elusive creature.Created by NPKF Studio, the mural gives this regional folklore character a contemporary, comic-book-inspired appearance.","author_name":"The Heck With It!","author_url":"https://streetartcities.com/users/78388358-e8b3-408f-ba18-d3453c1a15f5","thumbnail_url":"https://streetartcities.com/media/3/390afe75-24ac-44e2-ad01-5771fe30a665/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
