Can you look very carefully at this picture? What do you see? Do you see a fountain? Do you see two children doing cartwheels? Good for you!

When you are in Dusseldorf you will see pictures and statues of children doing cartwheels. You can buy dishes, shirts and even statues of children doing cartwheels.

A long, long time ago Dusseldorf became a city. The children were so happy to hear that their little village was now called a city that they started to do cartwheels all over the city square. Now the symbol for Dusseldorf is children cartwheeling.

This picture was taken in Altstadt, the oldest part of the city. Maybe the happy children did their cartwheels where the fountain is now!
