Background
“Teichanlage (Europa / Neptun)” by Karl Hänny, dated 1918, consists of two sculptures in artificial stone on plinths in the Rosengarten at Alter Aargauerstalden 31 in Bern. Hänny was born in Twann in 1879 and worked as a sculptor, painter, medallist and graphic artist. Above all he made architectural sculpture, mostly in artificial stone, and most of these works are found in the Bern region. He settled in Bern in 1907, and the figure group in the Rosengarten was made between 1915 and 1918.
