Pumukl Fountain (Pumucklbrunnen)

It seems that the phrase “you can not embrace the immense” is said about the fountains of Munich. The city is decorated with an unusually large number of fountains, about seven hundred, and each of them has its own unusual history. But now we will talk about the funny fountain Pumukl.

The Pumukl fountain was built in Schwabing, one of the districts of Munich. For starters, it does not hurt to say that Pumukl is a character of children's German fairy tales. Pumukl is homely, cheerful, kind and mischievous. The fairy-tale character of the writer Ellis Kauto so pleased the residents of Munich that they decided to immortalize this bright, kind and funny character in one of their fountains. Pumukl was made by Klaus Nageler and was installed in 1985. This is a small but very pleasant fountain that brings back to childhood and cheers up. The main distinguishing feature of the Pumukl fountain, which everyone notices, is the irregularity in the water supply. The fountain after a certain time spits out a small stream of water.

Finding the fountain is not very difficult, as it is located in Leopold Park, near the playground. The figure of Pumuklya is very cute and funny, so there are always plenty of visitors near the fountain.
