Bertoldsbrunnen, Bronze equestrian statue in Altstadt, Germany.

The Bertoldsbrunnen features a limestone pedestal with an abstract bronze knight figure situated at the intersection of Kaiser-Joseph-Strasse and Salzstrasse in Freiburg.

The original fountain from 1807 was destroyed during a British air raid in 1944, leading to its reconstruction with a new design by Nikolaus Röslmeir in 1965.

The monument pays tribute to the Dukes of Zähringen through inscriptions on its pedestal and serves as the main meeting point for Freiburg residents.

Located at the convergence of five trolley lines, the statue stands in a shallow water basin and includes LED lighting integrated into its modern design.

The abstract bronze knight statue represents Duke Bertold while incorporating gothic elements that connect visually with the nearby Freiburg Minster architecture.
