Heinrichsbrunnen, Monumental fountain in Braunschweig, Germany
The Heinrichsbrunnen features a bronze statue of Duke Henry the Lion atop a three-tiered fountain column adorned with water-spouting lion heads and heraldic shields.
Built in 1874, the fountain's bronze figure was first exhibited at the Vienna World Fair in 1873 before being installed at its current location.
The statue shows Duke Henry holding a model of St. Katharinen church, representing his role in the architectural development of medieval Braunschweig.
Located near multiple hiking routes starting from Burgplatz and Altstadtmarkt, the fountain serves as a central reference point for visitors exploring the city.
The fountain underwent a complete restoration between 1998 and 1999, preserving its original architectural elements and water features for future generations.
