Glasbrunnen

Glasbrunnen is a public drinking water fountain in the Neufeld district, built from stone and iron in traditional style. The structure draws water directly from a natural spring and makes it available to the public.

The fountain was built as part of Bern's historical water supply system in the district. It belongs to a network of public fountains that the city has maintained for generations.

The fountain shows how residents in Bern still rely on public water sources for daily needs. People regularly stop by to collect fresh spring water, keeping the location part of neighborhood life.

The fountain is freely accessible and offers fresh water at any time of day. Visitors should bring simple containers to collect water or drink directly from the source.

The water comes from a natural spring that emerges below ground level. This direct supply makes it a rare combination of a well, spring, and drinking fountain all in one urban location.
