Donauweibchenbrunnen, Marble fountain in Stadtpark, Vienna, Austria

The Donauweibchenbrunnen features a central stone column made of karst limestone with four round basins and head masks serving as water spouts.

The fountain was created by Hans Gasser in 1858 for the Fischhof, stored for two years, and later unveiled in Stadtpark on September 30, 1865.

The fountain depicts a maiden figure from local folklore who warned fishermen about floods and provided assistance to those in need along the Danube.

Located in the first district of Vienna, this fountain supplies drinking water to visitors, making it different from other monumental fountains in the city.

After World War II damage to the original Carrara marble figure, sculptor Fellinger created a stone replica in 1948, while the original resides in Hotel Imperial.
