who fell in love with a prince who lived on land, and often came up to the edge of the water to look for her love.The sculpture pictures her as she sits and looks out over the water, after never actually having married the prince, reminiscing over her lost childhood in the sea, as a mermaid.
The story of The Little Mermaid is not a very happy one - she visits a witch and agrees to give the witch her tongue, in exchange for legs to replace her fish tail, so she can live on land with her love, the prince. And every step she takes on her new legs hurt like she is walking on swords. To be with her love she becomes a mute and is in pain with every step she takes - but despite alle her sacrifices she never gets to be with him.
Die kleine Meerjungfrau ist übrigens das Wahrzeichen von Kopenhagen!!
