Inspired by the Goose Girl fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this fountain was created to commemorate the area's German settlers and the many goose farms which used to be in Covington. Cincinnati sculptor Eleftherios Karkadoulias was commissioned by the Covington Mainsstrasse Committee to create the statue of a young girl on her way to market, carrying a goose under each arm.
