Donauweibchenbrunnen, Marble fountain in Stadtpark, Vienna, Austria
Description
The Donauweibchenbrunnen is a fountain in Stadtpark centered on a female figure carved in marble. The artwork provides drinking water to visitors while functioning as both a sculptural and functional feature.
History
The fountain was created by sculptor Hans Gasser in 1858 as an art commission. World War II damage led to a stone replica installed in 1948, with the original marble figure now kept elsewhere.
Culture
The figure represents a maiden from local stories who protected people along the Danube. She embodies the community's deep connection to the river and its past.
Practical
The fountain sits in Vienna's first district within easy walking distance and offers free access to drinking water. Visitors can approach it directly without restrictions or special requirements.
Did you know?
The original marble came from Carrara in Italy and was extensively damaged during World War II. The stone replica now stands in the park while the authentic carved figure is preserved in a secure location.
