The Flute Player Fountain was inaugurated on 5 May 1990 with a village festival attended by a large number of people. It is a bronze sculpture by Grustav Nonnenmacher, an outstanding formative artist from Worms who has created numerous works. Nonnenmacher integrated one of the old sandstone troughs donated by Kurt Bernhard into the fountain. The flute player symbolises the cheerfulness of the people of Rheinhessen who live here. A boy as a musician, warbling into the air, legs crossed, content with himself and the world. The fountain was dedicated to the youth, who should always be cheerful, carefree and happy. In addition, the depicted scales, the grape and the sugar beet establish a further reference to Offstein. Compiled from the documents of Wulf Abigt Compiled by Erich Weber
