Cartwheelers are found in several [[Fountain|fountains]] in the city. The best known is Radschlägerbrunnen (Cartwheeler Fountain) in the Burgplatz, created in 1954 by Alfred Zschorsch, with [[Hans Müller-Schlösser]]'s inscription『''Radschläger wolle mer blieve, wie jeck et de Minschen och drieve''』("We want to keep being cartwheelers, no matter how crazy the world might be").<ref name="Tourism"></ref>

Cartwheelers are found in several [[Fountain|fountains]] in the city. The best known is '''''Radschlägerbrunnen '''''(Cartwheeler Fountain) in the Burgplatz, created in 1954 by Alfred Zschorsch, with [[Hans Müller-Schlösser]]'s inscription『''Radschläger wolle mer blieve, wie jeck et de Minschen och drieve''』("We want to keep being cartwheelers, no matter how crazy the world might be").<ref name="Tourism"></ref>



Friedrich Becker's Design from the late 1950s is the best known. His『Radschläger cube』from 1995 is now on Klosterstrasse in Düsseldorf. [[File:Radschlägerwürfel Friedrich Becker 1995.jpg|thumb|Radschlägerwürfel, Skulptur von Friedrich Becker, 1995]] In 2022, a sculpture based on his design was erected at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences (HSD).

The tradition is notably kept alive by the Alde Düsseldorf civil society of 1920, who conducted the first cartwheeler competition on 17 October 1937. Since 1971, it was held annually by boys and girls in June on the Königsallee, and since 2006 on the Rheinwerft below the old town and has become an integral part in the Düsseldorf event program. More than 500 boys and girls participate each year.

In 2001, the project ''Radschläger-Kunst'' (Cartwheeler-Art) started, consisting in the creation of over 100 cartwheeler sculptures by professional and amateur artists. The sculptures, which used Saint Lambertus Church door knockers as a starting model, are two meters high and wide and have a depth of 30 centimeters. They were distributed in the urban area and only a part was purchased at the end of the year from private individuals or companies.
