This statue of Ernst the salmon fisherman stands in front of the Old Town Hall in the old town of Rüdesheim am Rhein (Rheingau, Hesse), as this was the profession of several Rüdesheim residents until the 1930s.
A few decades later, salmon became extinct in the Rhine; today, attempts are being made to reintroduce them.
