Augustinbrunnen, Water well at Augustinplatz, Neubau district, Vienna, Austria
The Augustinbrunnen features a sandstone statue of a bagpiper positioned on a four-sided pedestal within a shallow fountain basin with grapevine ornaments.
The original bronze statue from 1908 was melted during World War II, leading to its replacement with a sandstone figure created by Josef Humplik in 1952.
The fountain commemorates Marx Augustin, a street musician who survived after being mistakenly thrown into a plague pit in the 17th century.
The fountain structure is currently in storage at Naschmarkt due to subway construction work and will return to Augustinplatz around 2027.
Water outlets on three sides of the pedestal display decorative grapevine patterns, connecting to Vienna's wine-making traditions.
