Het Zinneke (Brusselian dialect for "the mutt"), sometimes called Zinneke Pis by analogy with Manneken Pis, is a bronze sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium, erected in 1998.[1] Created by Tom Frantzen, it represents a urinating dog, along the same lines as Manneken Pis (a boy) and its derivative Jeanneke Pis (a girl).[2][3] It is an example of folk humour (zwanze) popular in Brussels.[4]

Het Zinneke is located at the junction of the Rue des Chartreux/Kartuizersstraat and the Rue du Vieux-Marché-aux-Grains/Oude Graanmarkt in the City of Brussels, not far from the Halles Saint-Géry/Sint-Gorikshallen, a former covered market, and one of the trendiest districts of the capital.

History

Zinneke is a nickname chosen to represent people from Brussels. The word means "mutt" or "bastard" in Brusselian dialect, and originally referred to the city's stray dogs that hung around the streets by the Lesser Senne (a tangent canal of the river Senne, which circumnavigated Brussels along the city walls) until the end of the 19th century.[5]

The sculpture was created in 1998 by the artist Tom Frantzen, also known for other public statues in Brussels, such as the Vaartkapoen (1985) on the Place Sainctelette/Sainctelettesquare in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean,[6] Madame Chapeau (2000) on the Rue du Midi/Zuidstraat,[7] and L'Envol (2017) on the Place de la Vieille Halle aux Blés/Oud Korenhuisplein.[8][9] It is a nod to the landmark sculpture Manneken Pis, in place since 1619, and its female counterpart Jeanneke Pis, installed in 1987. It is, however, not associated with a fountain.

On 1 August 2015, Het Zinneke was struck by a car, and its two legs were broken. During its restoration by the sculptor, an explanatory note was attached on site. On 24 September 2015, the sculpture was reinstalled in its original place.[10][11][12]

[de] Zinneke Pis

Zinneken Pis ist eine 1998 aufgestellte Bronzeskulptur in Brüssel, die einen an einen Pfahl urinierenden Hund darstellt. Er kann als Ergänzung der bekannteren menschlichen Brunnenfiguren Manneken Pis aus dem Jahre 1619 und seines weiblichen Pendants Jeanneke Pis aus dem Jahre 1985 betrachtet werden. Er wurde auch ganz in der Nähe dieser Figuren aufgestellt, an der Kreuzung der Rue des Chartreux/Kartuizersstraat mit der Rue du Vieux-Marché aux Grains/Oude Graanmarkt. Im Brüsseler Dialekt bedeutet „Zinneke“ in etwa so viel wie „räudiger Straßenköter“.

Het Zinneke, a volte chiamato Zinneke Pis,[1] è una statua in bronzo ubicata a Bruxelles e creata nel 1998[2] per mano di Tom Frantzen. L'opera scultorea presenta un cane urinante ed è legata tematicamente al Manneken Pis (un ragazzetto) e alla Jeanneke Pis (una ragazzetta accovacciata). La statua si trova all'angolo di Kartuizersstraat e l'Oude Graanmarkt.[1][3] Nel dialetto di Bruxelles, Zinneke si riferisce sia alla piccola Senne, il fiume che passa da Bruxelles, che ad un cane meticcio.
