Germany S-Printing Horse in Heidelberg, Germany
The S-Printing Horse is a striking 13-meter-high metal sculpture located in front of the Print Media Academy in Heidelberg. Designed by artist Jürgen Goertz, this futuristic-looking horse has become a modern landmark of the city, symbolizing both innovation and Heidelberg’s long tradition as the birthplace of printing.
The combination of the sculpture with the glass facade of the building and the surrounding modern architecture makes it a fantastic spot for urban photography, especially with dramatic skies or during the blue hour.

Photography Tips
A wide-angle lens works best to capture both the sculpture and the building.
Reflections on the Print Media Academy’s glass facade look amazing in soft light.
At sunset or nighttime, artificial lighting enhances the metallic details of the horse.
