Brunnen der Völkerfreundschaft
Brunnen der Völkerfreundschaft, Ornamental fountain at Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany
The Fountain of Friendship between Nations combines ceramic, glass, steel, and copper elements in a spiral design measuring 22 meters in diameter.
Walter Womacka created this monument between 1969 and 1970, marking the 21st anniversary of the German Democratic Republic's establishment.
The fountain incorporates seventeen leaf-shaped basins arranged in spiral patterns, with animal and plant motifs decorating the outer rim.
Visitors can access fresh drinking water from the fountain while exploring the central district of Berlin-Mitte near multiple transportation connections.
Water flows through seventeen basins and eight outlets, cascading from the upper pool to the larger lower basin across mosaic-decorated surfaces.
