In honor of the honorary citizen of the city of Stendal, the Privy Medical Councilor Friedrich Hermann Haacke (1824-1899), head of the Johanniter Hospital and Royal Circular Physic, in 1906 the Haake Fountain on Sperlingsberg was built, which is popularly called "Sperlings Ida".

The Haacke Fountain, affectionately known as "Sparrow Ida," is a monument on Sparrow Hill in Stendal. It was erected in honor of Dr. Friedrich Haacke (1824–1899), a physician who distinguished himself during the cholera epidemic. The sculpture depicts a woman feeding birds, symbolizing benevolence and humanity, and is a well-known landmark of the city.
