Heinrichsbrunnen, Monumental fountain in Braunschweig, Germany
The Heinrichsbrunnen is a monument featuring a bronze statue of Duke Henry atop a three-tiered fountain column in Braunschweig. The column is adorned with water-spouting lion heads and heraldic shields that direct water downward.
The fountain was built in 1874 after its bronze figure was exhibited at the Vienna World Fair in 1873. It soon became a recognized landmark in central Braunschweig.
The statue depicts Duke Henry holding a model of St. Katharinen church, symbolizing his role in shaping the medieval city. Visitors can see how this monument represents the connection between the ruler and the city's most important structures.
The fountain is located in the old town and is easy to reach on foot when visiting the main squares like Burgplatz and Altstadtmarkt. From here visitors can easily walk to explore other parts of the city.
The monument underwent complete restoration between 1998 and 1999, preserving its original bronze elements and water features. This thorough restoration protected the structure from wear and ensured its beauty for future generations.
