Neckereibrunnen Düsseldorf, Heritage water well at Königsallee corner with Bastionstraße, Germany.

The Neckereibrunnen features a bronze sculpture depicting two boys, with the older one pouring water into the younger one's mouth from a container.

Created by sculptor Gregor von Bochmann in 1909, the fountain was purchased by the Verschönerungsverein and presented as a gift to Düsseldorf city.

The fountain sparked moral concerns among school authorities, resulting in the addition of a loincloth to the older boy's bronze figure.

Located next to Görres-Gymnasium, this fountain underwent complete restoration between 2004 and 2005 during the school's renovation project.

During World War II, the fountain was dismantled in August 1942 for metal collection but returned to its original location in September 1949.
