Bear Fountain in Wrocław

Bear Fountain in Wrocław, Bronze fountain in Market Square, Poland.

The Bear Cub Fountain stands by the southern wall of the Old Town Hall in Wrocław. It is a 1.5-metre bronze bear on a tree trunk, set in a small stone pool, with water flowing from the bear's mouth. The 270 kg sculpture is a 1998 reconstruction of Ernst Moritz Geyger's 1902 original.

The original bronze bear, made by Ernst Moritz Geyger in 1902, was set by the Old Town Hall on 17 August 1904 in a small stone pool fed from the bear's mouth. The statue disappeared during World War II. Maciej Łagiewski and the Wrocław Shooting Fraternity initiated the reconstruction, and Ryszard Zamorski's 270 kg, 1.5 m copy was unveiled on 18 June 1998.

The bear cub stands on a tree trunk, as in Ernst Moritz Geyger's 1902 bronze, and water flows from its mouth into a small stone basin. The original was lost in World War II; Maciej Łagiewski and the Wrocław Shooting Fraternity led the reconstruction, unveiled on 18 June 1998. The 270 kg, 1.5 m cast was made by the Gliwice Plant of Technical Devices with funds from Wrocław Centrozlot and Wrocław Piast Brewery.

The fountain stands against the southern wall of the Old Town Hall, not in the open square, so look along the building's south side. The bronze bear sits in a small stone basin at ground level, reachable on foot from the Market Square. The area is paved and level, with the pool edge low enough to see the bear's mouth up close.

The 1998 bronze cast, 270 kg and 1.5 m tall, was funded by Wrocław Centrozlot and the Piast Brewery and made at the Gliwice Plant of Technical Devices. The reconstruction was pushed through by Maciej Łagiewski and the Wrocław Shooting Fraternity, who rebuilt a statue lost in World War II.
