Wiener Wasserwelt, Water well system in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus district, Vienna, Austria

The Wiener Wasserwelt consists of a series of water fountains and installations stretching from Meiselmarkt along Meiselstraße to Kardinal-Rauscher-Platz.

The installation was created in the 1990s during the extension of the U3 subway line, involving architects Rudolf Guttmann and Rupert Falkner with sculptors Waltrud Viehböck, Osamu Nakajima, and Hans Muhr.

The annual Wasserweltfeste festivals bring together different generations and cultures in the area, creating connections among local residents through water-themed celebrations.

The water installation underwent renovation in 2017, replacing some fountains with seating areas and plants while maintaining the fountains at Kardinal-Rauscher-Platz.

The Lebensbaum sculpture, designed by Hans Muhr, incorporates photovoltaic panels into its structure, combining renewable energy technology with water art.
