The bronze cast sculpture by sculptor Jürgen Goertz on the grounds of the historic armory was created in 1984 and commemorates the city's most famous son: Albert Einstein. The sculpture consists of three elements: the rocket stump stands for technology, conquest of the universe and the atomic threat. On this pedestal sits a large snail shell, which, in contrast, represents nature, wisdom and skepticism about human mastery of technology. Out of this shell, the head of Albert Einstein swells with mischievous eyes and mocking outstretched tongue.

A snail and the Einstein face on the other side. Kind of Modern art.
It's a beautiful place to visit and takes photos. The statue is very funny and encouraging to see it. Recommend it!
Brilliant! Einstein was born in Ulm and I expected to see reference's all over, but sadly no. It's a bit out of the way from the square but I loved this statue.
As someone who studied Mathematics, I immediately thought to myself: \I gotta see that\. After we got there however, I was disappointed with how small and ugly it looked. Although there was some water, it sadly wasn't much of a fountain. Overall a rather disappointing sight to see.
