Marienbrunnen, Medieval water well at Altstadtmarkt, Braunschweig, Germany.
The Marienbrunnen is a medieval water well in Braunschweig with three basins made from lead and Gothic architectural elements. It displays various figures and decorative details that demonstrate the craftsmanship and artistic design of past centuries.
The well was built in 1408 and was an important part of the medieval town. After destruction in World War II, it was later rebuilt and stands today as a testament to the city's history.
The fountain displays figures and motifs that tell biblical stories and reflect the values of the medieval community. These representations were important for people to see their faith expressed in public space.
The well stands on Altstadtmarkt square near the Old Town Hall and is easy to access. You can view the details from different angles since the figures are positioned around the entire structure.
Several original parts of the medieval well are preserved and displayed in the Municipal Museum. These fragments provide direct insight into medieval craftsmanship and material techniques.
