Josefsbrunnen, Protected water well in Innere Stadt, Austria.
The Josefsbrunnen features stone elements and stands as a functional water source within the central district of Vienna, connecting to the city's water network.
The well emerged as part of Vienna's First Mountain Spring Pipeline project in 1873, addressing the need for clean water distribution across the growing urban center.
Johann Martin Fischer designed this water structure, which reflects Vienna's dedication to providing public access to pure Alpine spring water for its inhabitants.
The well forms part of Vienna's network of 1,300 drinking fountains, offering fresh mountain water directly from natural springs through gravity-fed pipelines.
The water flowing through Josefsbrunnen travels 95 kilometers from Alpine sources, requiring no treatment due to natural filtration through karst rock formations.
