Burgschmietbrunnen

The Burgschmietbrunnen is a historic fountain in Nuremberg that has been preserved as a water source and architectural monument. The structure displays typical features of medieval well design with carefully crafted details.

The fountain dates from the Middle Ages when Nuremberg was an important craft center where blacksmiths worked. Its preservation reflects the importance of water sources in the city's infrastructure during that era.

The fountain's name reflects the blacksmith craftsmen who once worked in this neighborhood. Visitors today can still observe the artisanal quality evident in the well's design and construction.

The fountain is located in a central area of Nuremberg and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should come during daylight hours to better observe the stonework details and surroundings.

The fountain's name preserves the memory of an entire artisan quarter that has long since disappeared. This small water source tells the story of Nuremberg's economic history, kept alive in its name.
