Vinzenzbrunnen, Gothic revival fountain in Aachen-Mitte, Germany.
The Vinzenzbrunnen features a square sandstone base with four decorated sides containing carved religious figures in Gothic niches, topped by an octagonal tower with eight ornate pinnacles.
Consecrated in 1847 based on Friedrich Josef Ark's design, this fountain replaced an earlier structure and suffered World War II damage before restoration in 1951.
As an architectural heritage monument of North Rhine-Westphalia, the fountain displays statues of Mary, Saint Vincent de Paul, Archangel Michael, and Saint Foillan representing Christian devotion.
Located on Münsterplatz near Aachen Cathedral, the fountain stands on a three-tiered octagonal pedestal and remains easily accessible to visitors exploring the historic city center.
The fountain's western side features a distinctive sun face water outlet design beneath the Saint Vincent de Paul statue, originally serving the nearby Vinzenzhospital.
