Gänseliesel — the Goose Girl — lore goes back as far as the 7th century, harkening back to a Brothers Grimm fairy tale called “The Goose Girl.” The girl, according to the story, was a princess who was forced to trade places with a peasant, and the statue shows her caring for her geese. The students of Göttingen gave her a ceremonial role: traditionally, graduates who earn a doctorate bestow a kiss of thanks upon Gänseliesel. Göttingen's citizens say she's the most kissed girl in the world. less
