Broder Fountain, Decorative fountain at St. Leonhard-Strasse, St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The triangular fountain features three water nymphs at its top, with three children riding aquatic animals at the base level.
The fountain was inaugurated in 1895 to mark the introduction of Lake Constance water supply to St. Gallen households.
The central figure represents Aphrodite emerging from the sea, supported by two fish-tailed Tritons in bronze and stone construction.
The original bronze figures are preserved in the Historical Museum, while replicas remain at the fountain for public viewing.
The fountain received its funding from Judge Hans Broder's estate, who left 20,000 Swiss francs to the city for its construction.
