Augustusbrunnen, Renaissance fountain in Rathausplatz, Augsburg, Germany.
The Augustusbrunnen features a central bronze statue of Emperor Augustus, surrounded by four river deities representing the Lech, Wertach, Singold, and Brunnenbach.
Built between 1589 and 1594, sculptor Hubert Gerhard created the fountain's bronze figures, demonstrating late Renaissance craftsmanship under municipal founder Peter Wagner's supervision.
The fountain displays inscriptions on marble panels honoring Augustus, Rudolf II, and Johannes Welser, reflecting the political influence of Renaissance Augsburg.
The original bronze sculptures reside in the Maximilianmuseum for preservation, while wooden covers protect the fountain structure during winter months.
The metal grill encircling the fountain dates from 1564, preceding the monument by thirty years and crafted by blacksmith Georg Scheff.
