Siebenbrunnen, Protected water well in Margareten, Vienna, Austria.

The stone fountain features seven water outlets decorated with coats of arms representing former suburbs and current districts of Margareten district.

King Ferdinand I ordered the construction of seven wells in 1562 to collect water through cast iron pipes for the Hofburg Palace supply system.

The monument commemorates the historic water supply system and includes a statue of Vindobona with inscriptions and a relief portrait of Mayor Karl Lueger.

The water well stands at Siebenbrunnenplatz, which transformed into a traffic-calmed zone in 1999, offering residents a communal gathering space.

The structure contains seven water spouts that reference the original seven underground springs that supplied water to Vienna's imperial court.
