The first of the Humpty Dumpty Brothers arrived in 2002, and was given the name Bronze H.D. He rests outside of the Pikes Peak Center on Cascade Avenue, perched on a wall that children of all ages can easily approach. Created by award-winning Minneapolis artist Kimber Fiebiger, he sports a metallic green shirt, blue metallic striped pants, a dapper bow tie, stylish belt, and black loafers adorned with buckles. Originally part of the Arts on the Streets program, H.D. initially positioned on a rock at the Bijou and Tejon streets intersection. Community Ventures purchased him in 2004 and generously donated him to the City of Colorado Springs.

Kimber Fiebiger has been creating these whimsical statues for about 40 years. It all started when her 2-year old son requested a tiny metal egg sculpture. Since then, her creations have grown in number and popularity, with 21 Humpty Dumpties now in the downtown area, including three new additions; Robin's Egg, Eggsplorer, and Free Range Egg. Her process is labor-intensive, involving sculpting in Styrofoam, adding clay, making a wax print, and casting in metal. Each Humpty Dumpty is unique, featuring two arms, two legs, and a face.



Locals often use the Humpty Dumpty statues as reference points to navigate downtown Colorado Springs. There's also scavenger hunts via RoadsideAmerica.com that are fun and free entertainment for the whole family! Fiebiger's whimsical Humpty Dumpties not only bring joy and creativity to our city, but also serve as beloved landmarks that connect the community and enhance the vibrant character of Colorado Springs.
