Neptunbrunnen, Fountain in Old Botanical Garden, Munich, Germany
The Neptune Fountain presents a muscular figure of Neptune holding a trident while standing above a fish-tailed horse in the water basin.
The fountain was constructed in 1937 under the direction of architects Joseph Wackerle and Oswald Eduard Bieber during Germany's National Socialist period.
The monument incorporates classical mythology through its depiction of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, demonstrating the intersection of ancient and modern artistry.
The fountain stands in the Alter Botanischer Garten, near Karlsplatz station, making it accessible through Munich's public transportation network.
The water feature stretches 30 meters in length and 15 meters in width, with multiple water streams emerging from shell-shaped bases.
