Glasbrunnen

The Glasbrunnen fountain combines stone and iron materials in its construction, featuring a traditional design that provides fresh spring water to the public.

During the development of Bern's water infrastructure, the Glasbrunnen emerged as one of the essential public fountains managed by the Burgergemeinde Bern organization.

The fountain represents Swiss engineering principles through its functional design, serving as a community gathering point in the Länggasse-Felsenau neighborhood.

Located at coordinates 46.9624094, 7.4120039 and standing at 542 meters elevation, the fountain remains accessible for residents and visitors seeking drinking water.

The Glasbrunnen integrates multiple water source functions, operating simultaneously as a spring, drinking fountain, and water well within the urban environment.
