Rhine Water Fountain

The Rhine Water Fountain presents a central sculpture with multiple water features and decorative elements representing the River Rhine deity.

Adolf von Hildebrand designed and completed this baroque revival monument in 1897 during a period of increased public art installations in Germany.

This fountain incorporates German artistic traditions through its bronze sculptures and intricate designs celebrating the Rhine River's significance.

The fountain stands in Museum Island near multiple cultural institutions, making it a convenient stop during museum district visits.
