Nornenbrunnen, Art Nouveau fountain in Maximiliansplatz, Munich, Germany.
Three mythological figures lean against a central basin at the Nornenbrunnen, with water flowing from their mouths into smaller ground-level basins.
The fountain, designed by architect Hubert Netzer, was installed in 1907 and later relocated from Stachus Square to Maximiliansplatz in 1965.
The fountain depicts the three Norns from Germanic mythology - Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld - who represent past, present, and future.
Located in the Maxvorstadt district at coordinates 48.1427252, 11.5718633, the fountain remains accessible throughout the day without entrance fees.
The sculpture incorporates Kirchheimer Muschelkalk limestone, featuring water streams that flow through three different levels of carved stone basins.
