Power on Land, Monumental fountain at Michaelerplatz, Innere Stadt, Austria.
The Power on Land fountain presents a central nude figure holding a sword, with additional figures below crafted in Laas marble and Uddevalla red granite.
Edmund von Hellmer created this fountain in 1897 as part of the architectural ensemble flanking the semicircular Michaeler Wing of the Hofburg Palace complex.
The fountain represents Austrian territorial power through its sculptural composition, forming a thematic pair with the Sea Power fountain across the plaza.
The fountain stands at coordinates 48.208153, 16.36599, near multiple transportation connections and main tourist routes through central Vienna.
Between 2001 and 2003, restorers used historical photographs and plaster models to repair damage from water exposure and reconstruct missing elements.
