Wittelsbacherbrunnen, Neoclassical fountain at Lenbachplatz, Munich, Germany.
The Wittelsbacher Fountain features a 25-meter wide semicircular basin with a central limestone structure and two marble figures on each side.
Constructed between 1893 and 1895 by Adolf von Hildebrand, the fountain commemorates the completion of Munich's water system from Mangfall Valley.
The fountain's two monumental figures represent water's dual nature: a youth riding a water horse and an Amazon offering water to observers.
Located at the intersection of Maximiliansplatz and Lenbachplatz, the fountain serves as a central meeting point in Munich's northwestern center.
The fountain utilizes Untersberg marble and limestone materials to create detailed reliefs of marine creatures and water-themed mythological elements.
