Laubebrunnen

Laubebrunnen is a water well and sculpture in Constance that combines drinking water supply with artistic stone carvings. The structure features detailed carved figures and artistic elements depicting local narratives throughout its surfaces.

Created in 1992 by German sculptor Peter Lenk, the work blends traditional fountain design with contemporary art. It emerged during a period when cities were actively redesigning public spaces.

The well displays scenes from local life through carved stone figures that visitors notice as they pass by. These crafted elements tell stories about the city and form part of the daily streetscape.

Located centrally, the well is easy to reach on foot with seating around it for visitors to rest. Fresh water is available for drinking, and the surrounding area invites you to linger and observe.

The water comes from an underground system fed by a natural spring, making it a genuine drinking water source rather than purely decorative. This working fountain aspect sets it apart from typical monuments in the city.
