This statue was gifted to Colmar by the city of Brussels in 1922, marking the fourth anniversary of Colmar's liberation after World War I. The gesture served as a commemoration of the shared hardships endured by both Belgium and France under German oppression, and as a symbol of enduring Franco-Belgian friendship.Unlike its Brussels counterpart, the Colmar Manneken-Pis does not function as a fountain. However, the statue maintains a tradition of being dressed in various costumes during local celebrations, mirroring a similar custom in Brussels. This tradition further strengthens the connection between the two cities.Originally, the statue was installed in front of the municipal baths before finding its current location next to the courthouse. Today, it stands as a reminder of the city's history and the strong bond between France and Belgium.
