Artesischer Brunnen, Heritage water well at Albertplatz, Dresden, Germany.
The artesian well resides beneath a fountain house with a slate-covered pyramid roof, positioned on Antonstrasse next to a high-rise building.
Between 1832 and 1836, miners from Freiberg drilled this 243-meter deep well to supply clean water to Dresden's Neustadt district.
The fountain complex includes the original well house, a drinking fountain, and a temple-like rotunda designed by city architect Hans Erlwein in 1906.
The water emerges naturally at a temperature of 17.8 degrees Celsius, flowing continuously through the fountain system without mechanical assistance.
The water originates from mountain ranges south-southwest of Dresden, traveling through Cretaceous strata and sandstone formations before reaching the surface.
