Fountain of the Wittelsbacherbrunnen

The Wittelsbach Fountain is located in Lanbach Square, in Munich, Germany. It is one of the most beautiful fountains not only in Munich, but also in Germany. It was built in 1895 by the famous sculptor Adolf von Hindebrand. However, he became famous just after the construction of this fountain. The height of the fountain is 4 meters, and the width is 25 meters. The construction of the fountain was timed to the grandiose event for that time - the holding of a new water pipeline with clean water from the mountains. It was a truly great event, as it ended the epidemics in the city that had previously been frequent here, and the contaminated water only contributed to their rapid spread.

The fountain consists of two swimming pools. In the lower pool through masks in the form of fish pours water. The column depicts the coats of arms of the Wittelsbach. The architectural style of the fountain is Italian Renaissance and Baroque.

Interesting sculptures that are erected at different ends of the fountain. At first glance, for the uninitiated, on one side a man on a horse, with a tail like a fish, throws a stone at a woman who sits on the other side of the pool on a bull and pays no attention to it. But it's not as simple as it seems. In fact, in the image of a man with a stone sitting on a water horse, the sculptor depicted the power of water. A woman with a bowl on a bull symbolizes the wealth and fertility of the land, watered with rain. The sculpture shows the seam left by the war. At the time, the bomb damaged the sculpture, splitting it in half, and later it was restored from two pieces.
