Neptunbrunnen, Baroque revival fountain in Alexanderplatz, Germany.
The fountain features Neptune at its center, surrounded by four female figures representing the main rivers of Prussia: Elbe, Rhine, Vistula, and Oder.
Created by Reinhold Begas in 1891, the fountain originally stood at Schlossplatz before its relocation to its current position between Marienkirche and Rotes Rathaus in 1969.
The bronze and granite structure incorporates numerous aquatic elements, including turtles, sea creatures, and water deities that reflect classical mythology and Prussian symbolism.
Located at coordinates 52.519611, 13.406861, the fountain measures 18 meters in diameter and 10 meters in height, with wheelchair accessibility for all visitors.
Each river figure holds specific regional symbols: the Elbe carries fruits, Rhine displays a fishnet, Vistula shows wooden blocks, and Oder presents goats and animal skins.
