Vermählungsbrunnen, Protected baroque fountain in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Vermählungsbrunnen features detailed sculptures depicting marriage and family themes, with water flowing from multiple spouts in the central square.
Emperor Leopold I commissioned the initial wooden structure in 1707, which was later replaced by the current stone fountain between 1729 and 1732.
The fountain displays marriage scenes between Saint Joseph and Virgin Mary, reflecting the religious importance and architectural style of 18th century Vienna.
Visitors can reach the fountain by taking subway lines U1 and U3 to Stephansplatz station or U3 to Herrengasse, both within walking distance.
The fountain appears in the 1949 film The Third Man during crucial scenes involving the character Harry Lime near the climactic moments.
